With the introduction of the Women’s Rights Act of 1964 women have eagerly awaited their opportunity at equality with their male counterparts, however women still face the ongoing battle of receiving the same treatment as men when partaking the same careers.
The case of Ines Sainz has struck the country by storm. Sainz has filed a harassment suit against the New York Jets franchise, claiming she was discriminated against after entering into the men’s locker room to interview one of the Jets players.
Whistling, crude language and cat calls, were tossed in her direction during her time in the locker room, clearly being one situation in which one of the rights women fought so hard for, the same career opportunities as men, was not considered.
