Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, says that it seems to be increasingly difficult to talk about sexism, equality, and women's rights in a society that perceives to have achieved gender equality. "In this 'liberal', 'modern' age, to complain about everyday sexism or suggest that you are unhappy about the way in which women are portrayed and perceived renders you likely to be labeled 'uptight', 'prudish', a 'militant feminist', or a 'bra burner,'" she explained.

But just like Bates, there are plenty of women who prove this notion wrong. And you can find many of them on the subreddit r/TrollXChromosomes. It's an online community that invites to "come for the period comics" and "stay for the cultural awareness", and many, in fact, do — the subreddit has over 817K members. The content they share and produce tackles important gender issues in all sorts of fields, including sports, health care, and work.

A fetus isn't even a fetus until the end of the 8th week of pregnancy. Until then, it is still an embryo. And "cardiac activity" isn't a heartbeat.

The pandemic isn't making this any easier, too. According to UN Women, the global champion for gender equality, there are 6 urgent issues women are facing during the time of COVID-19.

1. Violence against women and girls. "Before the pandemic, estimates said one in three women will experience violence in their lifetime," the organization said in a statement. "As economic and social stresses rise, and movement is restricted by lockdown and stay-at-home guidance, instances of violence are likely to increase. At home, survivors of domestic violence may be trapped with their abuser, with limited access to support services, healthcare, and justice systems. And in public, women are at heightened risks of violence navigating deserted public spaces and transportation."

2. The gender pay gap. "Around the world, women are at the frontline of the COVID-19 response as they make up the majority of health and social care workers, especially as nurses, midwives, and community health workers, and account for the majority of service staff in health facilities as cleaners, launderers, and caterers. Yet, an average gender pay gap of around 28 percent exists in the health workforce," UN Women wrote.

ADVERTISEMENT

"Once occupation and working hours are accounted for, the gender pay gap is 11 percent. Although the health sector performs well regarding women’s participation, it still harbors discrimination against women in earnings, and full-time employment and leadership roles for women are lagging."

3. Digital gender divide. UN Women pointed out that studies online have become the new normal but not everyone can continue their education because internet access remains a privilege. "Many around the world, including girls from poor households cannot participate in remote learning, since they lack the required tools, skills, and technologies."

"It was already a dire disadvantage that girls, women, and marginalized groups are least likely to have access to technology, and as the COVID-19 pandemic has moved so many aspects of daily life online, the lack of connectivity has become even more alarming, exacerbating existing gender inequalities."

4. Informal work and instability. The pandemic has deeply affected women's livelihoods and income. "Women typically earn less and hold less secure jobs than men. With economic activity at a halt during the pandemic, women working in the informal sector have seen a dramatic decline in their capacity to earn a living. Adding to the loss in income and paid work, many women are also juggling an increase in unpaid care and domestic work."

But according to UN Women, this can change. "It's on all of us to share the added burden of unpaid domestic and care work at home and speak up for a gender-aware response to the economic shock of COVID-19, including supporting women in the informal sector."

5. Period poverty and stigma. "Even before the pandemic, women, and girls have been facing discrimination when they menstruate. In some parts of the world, they are seen as dirty, untouchable, or a disgrace. Whether it’s a lack of money to buy pads, tampons, or other products, access to toilets, or discriminatory laws and practices, women and girls, especially the world’s poorest, are deeply impacted by their periods," UN women continued.

The organization stated that it's especially challenging for women and girls to manage their periods safely and with dignity during a crisis.

"The provision of safe water, sanitation, and hygienic conditions are essential to protecting human health. Yet, today 500 million women and girls globally are estimated to lack adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene management. This puts women and their families at greater risk of infection. Periods don’t stop for the COVID-19 pandemic, and neither should our efforts to break harmful taboos about menstruation and end period poverty."

ADVERTISEMENT

6. Underrepresentation as leaders in health. "Women make up 70 percent of the health and social care workforce, and they are more likely to be front-line health workers, especially as nurses, midwives, and community health workers. This exposure raises women’s risk of infection (in fact, infections among female health care workers are up to three times higher than among their male counterparts). Yet, women remain in the background of decision making, underrepresented in health sector leadership, and missing from the center of the COVID-19 response."

There might be a record number of women serving in the 117th Congress but society still needs to go a long way and start treating them the way they deserve.

Damon Tripodi - Planned Parenthood doesn't only do abortions. Emergency contraception isn't an abortion - it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting & growing without/before a positive pregnancy test is even possible, to prevent the need for an abortion. Good on OP for seeking immediate care. My heart hurts for her that she had to have shame and extra trauma heaped on top of her trauma, especially in the name of Christianity. That's certainly NOT what every version of the Bible I've read says to do/think/say.

Well, unless you got paid, you're not a wh@re. Religiously If it was consensual, then you'd be a fornicator (unmarried), and an adulterer (married). But do keep in mind that the bible, many of the people God is said as having loved, were flawed, imperfect people. These Christians forgot the most important lesson of all, we're all doomed without savior, as we all have done things we are not proud of.

Why is the word "raped" not allowed to be printed? It is not a swear word. It is not a blasphemous word. It is not a "nasty" explicit word for genital parts or a sexual act. It is an adjective to describe non consensual sex in one form or another.

When I moved to the US 15is years ago, my sis-in law asked if I would like to help her with volunteering at Planned Parenthood. We were escorting and protecting females from their cars to the building. I was shocked to say the least by the amount of a-holes who was protesting abortions there every day ( most of them were males for some reason). In my country you can get a termination of the unwanted pregnancy almost in every clinic or every hospital, and no one will know or judge you, because everyone minding their own business.

Just want to put this out there, that’s not what “good” Christianity is like. We are called to love one another, and while that love may include correction and advice, insults and rudeness is not part of it. God judges, humans only try our best to love and help our neighbors. It’s sad that there are people behaving this way and calling themselves Christians.

The Nazi's did some useful things too. But some other things they did kind of eclipsed that. And that's a very apt comparison considering the legalized murder that Planned Parenthood does. Do they even make plans for parenthood. Best they don't.

Thank God, because I really can’t be arsed to get all dressed up every day. On the other end of the spectrum, my little sister’s (thankfully now ex-) bf, who once yelled at her when she came home from a 36 hour shift at the hospital and put her jogging bottoms on. She needed to be “presentable” at all times for him and it completely broke her self esteem. Arsehole.

What isn’t being recognized is how much women before you had to fight to get to this point, and how those women are rarely appreciated

It's weird the reaction a woman gets when she walks into a comic book store (alone that is). If you get a chance, check that out. If there are no ladies already in the shop it's almost like you spooked a herd of deer.

Or the opposite: "You'd look so much prettier if you'd wear makeup." Well, I feel absolutely comfortable without makeup, I hate the feeling of things on my face, and on top of that, I don't want to look pretty for a random stranger in the streets.

It's not pro-life, it's pro-birth. Pro-birthers generally give zero f***s about human life for roughly 80 years of life. They only care about 9 months of gestation.

How many women are stuck with abuser because of this... But hey, your family was telling you that he's really persistent so you should give him chance... And how many of those end up as headliners in news.

I think it's important to note that men are actually wired this way. My mom made a decent feminist out of me. Try to do half the work in the household, paternity leave for a total of 2 years (2 kids) ... I'd say I'm firmly in the feminist camp. Yet I still notice that first impressions are always base emotions such as "I'd hit that". I notice that it's just what my lizard brain tells me ... it's my conscious decision not to be a creep about it and behave normally. What I'm trying to say is that boys are not so much "taught" to be creeps, they're "not taught" how to behave properly, "not taught" that we're not cavemen anymore.

I dumped one my best friend, not for being a sex offender, but for simply not having respect for his fiancee and sleeping around. And for disparaging me for not wanting to behave in a similar fashion. I tried being tactful about it at first and tell him that I wasn't ok with his behaviour but eventually had to block him, in his mind "out of the blue." One of our mutual friends had no idea what he was doing and told me he was heartbroken and fell into depression for having lost my friendship. Then I told her why, and she blocked him too. I'm not saying I've always been the ideal role model, but at least I can recognize the errors of my past and work towards rectifying my shortcomings. Edit: spelling
