For various reasons, there is a shift in which women go to work like men, and some of them work in male-dominated workplaces such as STEM and legal sectors . One part of society accepts this big change, while the other part is still in shock from the sudden change because it contradicts the idea of ​​the roles of men and women in society. Mixed reactions and gender role stereotypes influence the work environment of both working men and women. Most companies modify their policies to meet the needs of both male and female workers. However, the policies often put female workers at a disadvantage. Most working women receive a lower salary than men doing the same job. Based on statistics from the American Association of University Women's (AAUW), on average, working women earn 79% of the salary of working men in 2014 (Hill, 2015). The percentage gets worse when race and ethnicity are added to the calculation. The term 77 cents on the dollar is created by this wage gap between male and female workers. Women are paid less because of the distorted idea that women are less likely to focus on their work because they have to maintain both their job and their home. This will make employers believe that it is reasonable to pay their female workers less than their men
