A human being is a social creature. We live among other people, and we work and entertain together. One cannot survive without the slightest contacts with the human society. Apparently, everyone is a unique personality who has her interests and preferences. Very often we have to defend our point of view and dignity. No wonder, a human being is a conflictual creature. There are conflicts everywhere. One can mention corporate, domestic and other types of disputes. It is always hard to define the cause of a conflict and its chief accuser. When one lives in the society characterized by gender inequality, it is hard to observe the roots of conflicts objectively.

Everybody knows that gender inequality is a relevant problem in our society. When we speak about various European countries, we should say that the woman was a subordinate element of the human community.

There were numerous cases of forced marriages and executions because a woman resembled a witch. The dominant position of men was not disputed because they were physically stronger and more influential.

Moreover, centuries ago, it was difficult to survive without the protection of a man; therefore, the problem of gender inequality was usual.

With the run of time, women received their rights and became an integral part of the human society. In spite of the fact that men and women are formally equal, the truth is entirely different. There are still stereotypes that women should be in the kitchen and bring up their children. Many men do not pay attention to the intellect and inner world of a woman. Consequently, female opinion is often neglected.

A domestic and corporate conflict is a standard issue in the societies characterized by gender inequality. When a woman is a typical housewife who does not earn money, she has little influence on her husband. When there are conflicts, he will always be a winner. He is a supplier; therefore, he is still right. Unfortunately, the woman’s point of view does not have the proper value.

Gender inequality is often associated with the domestic violence. When a woman is neglected and oppressed, her husband can behave in the way he wants. No wonder, many women suffer from physical and sexual abuse and no one can protect them. Gender inequality touches upon all elements of the human society. When a woman wants to call the police, because her husband causes harm to her, she will not be protected. An average policeman will not pay attention to the problem of this kind because he will think that the woman is a priori the cause of the conflict. Furthermore, there are cases when policemen and judges take a husband’s side because he has the right to “teach” his wife. Of course, such bawdy attitude of the police does not exist in the developed countries. Unfortunately, this problem is regular in the rest of the world. When we speak about the conflicts in some Muslim countries, the situation is even more tragic there. Very often, women do not have the right to argue with their husbands, because he is always right. When there is a domestic conflict, no one knows about it, because the woman is afraid of telling anyone about it.

On the other hand, gender inequality can cause the opposite effect. Women are considered to be physically weaker and well-bred. No one believes that a tiny young woman can create a conflict. There are cases when a woman causes a conflict, but the man is considered to be guilty. As a result, women are rarely arrested though they can be rude and violent in the same way.

In conclusion, gender inequality prevents to evaluate the cause of a conflict objectively. In many cases, one should work hard to define the actual root of the problem.
