It's International Women's Day!

that makes no sense. vpssuper mentioned no specific area, only women's rights in general - you didn't know where they're from, and you alone chose to make this about Western women "complaining about nothing" in your opinion.

Your wage gap conclusion is crap. I agree it's most likely not as significant as most people tout, I've heard the 90-95 cent thing before (which is still a gap!), but "take more vacations and work less hours", really? Did you conclude that women are lazy? Did you not think about there being a reason for that, certain societal expectations + pressures? I don't think you even read the graphic you linked - paid work + unpaid household work combined puts women at 47.7 hours per week, men only at 47.3, according to that; whoever made the graphic mixed up the numbers, possibly intentionally, because there are some other misleading parts in there (like contrasting 41.7 paid hours for men with 33.1 unpaid household work hours for women the way they did, not sure why they did it, makes it look like women work significantly less although it's not the same metric). And your other thing, "Meritocracy is genderblind". Yeah, no. Ideally it probably should be, but that's not the way it's usually applied. And it ties into the wage gap argument, as well as education choices linked, again, to pressures + expectations from society.

More on this, clearer than that graphic imo: John Green | John Oliver (although these things are never complete or absolutely "neutral")

If you feel like you want/need to talk more about this, please reply in an old giveaway of mine - I'm closing this thread, since the giveaway is over and that's what the thread was for (also, it's now March 9th, a regular day on which to reflect on these + countless other issues, pertaining to women, men, and everyone in between, anywhere in the world, and possibly take action)
