What makes us Different?

I researched many ads, YouTube videos, even a few articles and the amount of information given was endless. There was so much talk about this issue, but one specific thing caught my attention. The thing that caught my attention was not a particular piece, but rather a repeated word, Feminism. In all honesty, I get that women are more prone to gender inequality, but does that issue end there?

Gender: the state of being male or female used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones.

Gender inequality, an existing issue that I have grown up seeing as far back as I can remember. The one thing that bothers me most is how people only view gender inequality as only and generally susceptible to women, but in reality gender inequality works both ways towards men, women and everything in between; The spectrum that gender inequality falls upon is very broad anywhere in terms of love, education, race, age etc.., My issue towards the subject at hand is, why do we particularly generalize gender in equality towards women? Because I have come to realize that it is not.

I kept researching and researching yet I only found articles on feminism and that is what bothers me. Why is it that I cannot find an article that talks about various types of gender inequality? Why? Why can I not find and article on gender inequality towards men, for example, some can argue that the man was created to be the head of a household as well as the money root in his family, why does that description not fall into a woman’s image? This issue is as much of a gender inequality as any others being presented.
