Sommers claims that feminists have two categories: equity feminists and gender feminists. She states that the difference between the two is gender feminists focus on changing societal norms based on gender, while equity feminists focus more on achieving fairness in all genders.

This example brings equity in the home and not only is it helping Koban and his wife successful in their relationship, but also teaches their kids equity at an early age. '''The article "What Is Gender Equity?" mentions that a way to help all their children understand equity at an early age is to teach them all basic chores around the house to maintain this balance in the future with their own family.'''

'''"4 Real ways to embrace equity for women in the workplace" states that workplaces should accommodate their employees by giving them the tools they need so that everyone in the company can have equal access to different opportunities. Multiverse lists many examples of how employers should change their hiring process as it tends to be biased. They encourage employers to focus on candidate's skills for the job and not based on the individuals name or background, include diversified language in their job listings, and pay women the amount of money they should be getting. Equity in the workplace can increase women's roles in higher positions'''

'The Routledge International Encyclopedia of Women'' makes known that equity feminists believe that men and women are created equally, so there should be no differences in their equality. Meaning that women can perform men's jobs just as well or even better than men and vice versa. The encyclopedia also states that due to the differences in how genders are treated, a lot of jobs will not even consider women for higher-paying jobs. As long as women's equal rights are being ignored and not backed up there will continue to be this unjust way of life for women. Equity feminist also push for equal shared responsibilites in the home with their significant other'''

Trying to combine both paragraphs above:

"4 Real ways to embrace equity for women in the workplaces" states that companies should accommodate their employees by providing the tools necessary for each employee to create an environment with equal opportunities. Equity feminism is all about treating men and women equally because they are created equally and should be treated as so. Multiverse enlists examples on how employer's can make a change in their hiring process as it tends to be bias. They state jobs hiring should focus on candidate's skills rather than the individual's name or background, include diversified language in their job listings, and pay woman the money they should be getting. Women can perform men's jobs just as well or even better than men and vice versa. The difference in how women are treated differently from men has a correlation on why companies will not consider women for higher-paying positions. Equity in the workplace can increase women's roles in higher positions but as long as their rights are being ignored and pushed away there will continue to be this unjust way of life for women. Equity feminist also push for equally shared responsibilities within households to again lessen the burden on women and push for that equity towards women.
