WOMEN
are 51% of the population but 70% of the poor and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food but earn just 11% of the pay and own only 1% of the land
In case you wondered why we still need feminism!

@grrlscientist

I absolutely agree Feminism is needed, Income disparity is huge as is often the disrespect for women.

.I thought there were far less than 17% of single parents being male and during the time my daughter could not look after herself never met anyone else in the same situation.

Without help from friends we would not have managed, I had to work, but all the pain was worth it,

The young lady is now in the middle of her Masters degree in Social Management and doing well.

@grrlscientist As a man, I have a t-shirt that states, 'This is what a feminist looks like.' I am proudly feminist because it makes the world and my society a better place

@grrlscientist
Are these global statistics or some specific country?

@grrlscientist just curious where these data come from, do you know by chance?

@grrlscientist

@grrlscientist A great start is to change the balance of elected officials. Otherwise, you haven’t got women around the table making decisions.

Remember this next time you vote.

Vote the same - get the same, and nothing changes.

@t3rcermillenium @grrlscientist voting for women isn't enough when men can filter the women that can be voted for. Austria's previous women's affairs minister was a woman who basically said that it was great that we had feminism, but that it has since reached its goal and that we can do away with it now.

@punissuer @grrlscientist That’s a fairs point.

In Ireland, we have the “Electoral (Amendment) (Political Funding) Act 2012”

This law introduced gender quotas requiring political parties to ensure that at least 40% of their candidates in general elections are women, and at least 40% are men (both were 30%but changed for the 2020 election).

Political parties that fail to meet these quotas face financial penalties of a 50% reduction in their state funding.

It’s a start.
