Blog 5: Review about Gender Role in Health Care.

In our career, we have some differences between men and women, the biggest is salary. Salary is a big problem: men have better salary that women, principally, because everyone believe that men are more efficient than women; but it is false. We have a social problem: always we make differences between genders, and in our career we see it everyday. But, the salary isn’t the only difference; we know others, for example: responsibilities, professional development, respect, etc.
Men have few responsibilities, less than women. Working for men is easier. Generally, we can say that men are privileged. For this we should change our form to think: The treatment for women should be the same for men. In professional development: men have more opportunities than women to studying, I believe. But, I can’t prove it, because it’s only an idea. I imagine it, because always men have more opportunities, in all areas.
Other difference is respect: treatment between genders is different. For example: we know working conditions, schedules, etc. and working forced: especially for men, we know that it is different (It’s an advantage for women: perhaps working women is more comfortable).

To finish: our career has a lot of differences, and the majority affects women…… but, always we have known that Midwifery was a career for women; so, what happens? Health system is wrong.
