even to state that there is equality in todays society is being very idealistic. It is human nature to go the path of least resistance, even if that path is to choose someone or something over someone else so you dont catch flack about it later. It may not always be the best choice. Really there is no such thing as equality, there is ALWAYS a faster, stronger, smarter version of ones self. Pulling a race or gender card to get a job or anything for that matter is just one of those things, that in todays society counts as an upper hand. You may not be the biggest, strongest, fastest or smartest or the most qualified BUT you are the path of least resistance, and you are the one working! I feel like to have those poll questions be relavent you would have to live in fantasy land. I am all for women being able to get any job in the workforce, but only based on the basics - ability to do the job well, and speed at which that job is done. If someone is better, learn from that experience, and come back better next time.
