Capitalism and Workplace

Although we have seen that men have control over women's labor power, it is more common to see harassment in today's workplace as women enter the labor market. Since women are seen as inferior to men, I would argue that the society has already define who fits into what positions. It is true that men dominates most of the supervision level in the organization, creating barriers for women to enter the leadership positions. As a result, men may tempt to think that women need them to achieve a certain position or to get a promotion. At some point, it will create opportunities for men to ask for sexual flavor as a form of reward. The tension between women and men in workplace remains to be an issue even though people claim both genders have equal opportunity in workplace. Women have been long struggling to improve their roles in the labor market. The problems they are now dealing with are the results of a capitalist society. Because of the sexual division of labor, most women only have access to jobs that are low-paying. To make further progress in this capitalist society, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the job status of women, but also to how they are being treated in the workplace.
