Society in the West has made significant improvements in advancing gender equality over the last century. While men and women naturally have their differences, it’s become quite normal for both genders to share responsibilities such as work, cleaning, cooking, driving, and even furniture assembly.

Teachers In Spain Protest The Gendering And Sexualization Of Clothing

In general, men and women lead very similar lives today. We grow up together, attend the same schools, and have the same jobs. Aside from dating and having children, for some of us, gender isn’t a big deal in our daily lives. In developed countries, we increasingly focus on personality over gender. But these products push back against this idea. They keep reminding us that gender matters, even though it rarely does in reality.

This isn’t just something to be upset about – it involves real money. It affects things like providing for your family, affording education, or enjoying a vacation. When women are charged more, it makes it harder to support ourselves or enjoy life as much.

There’s A Price Difference But I Didn’t Expect It To Be That Big

Products for women often cost more than those for men because of how companies market and design them. This happens due to historical practices, marketing strategies, and how society sees things. When products are made to target women specifically and look different, they seem more valuable and end up being priced higher. People also think of women’s stuff as fancier, which adds to the cost. Sometimes, old trends and what people expect also make women’s products cost more to make. And when many people want something, companies might raise the price. All these things together make products for women more expensive.

Pointlessly Gendered Product That We Can’t Believe Exist

Over time, progress has been made towards achievinggender equalityglobally. Women have gained increased representation in politics, more economic chances, and improved healthcare in numerous parts of the world. Nonetheless, the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts it will take another century before complete gender equality is achieved. There are some factors that contribute to this persistent gender gap.

“You Can’t Buy This Car Unless You Have The Correct Genitalia”

This Is A Hot Take I Can Get Behind

Only Men Can Be Doctors

One of them is employment equality. Only 6countriestreat women and men equally in terms of work rights (Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and Sweden). Most economies give women only 3/4 of the rights that men have. When employment is more equal, it can also help improve gender equality in other areas.

Ah Yes, Every Female Director Makes Movies Like This

Apparently Saying “Hi” Is Unacceptable For Men

Another factor that contributes to gender gap is lack of legal protections. According to research from the World Bank, “Over one billion women don’t have legal protection against domestic sexual violence or domestic economic violence.” Both of these things significantly affect how well women can succeed and live without limitations. In many places, there aren’t enough legal protections against harassment at work, school, and in public. This makes these environments unsafe, and women often have to make choices that hold back their goals.

When religious freedom is targeted, women are the ones who are most affected. According to the WEF, when extreme terrorist organizations like ISIS limit religious freedom in a community, gender inequality worsens. Georgetown University and Brigham Young University conducted a study that linked religious intolerance to women’s involvement in the economy. The study found that increased religious freedom leads to greater stability in the economy due to the increased participation of women.

Not Appropriate!!!!

Why This Is So True On TV Shows And Movies? 🥴

Imagine If That Was True, Transitioning Would Be So Easy

It might not be as easy to see as some other reasons, but how a society thinks overall really affects how men and women are treated unfairly. This affects lots of things like jobs, laws, and healthcare. People’s ideas about gender are strong, and even if laws and things change, there’s usually a pushback.
