If you have 11 minutes to listen to Sara Sanford, you wont regret it. She very quickly summarises the nature of the 'beast' - being GENDER INEQUALITY and the fundamental structures of unconscienced bias that create an inequitable and unwinnable game for half the population.
I just learnt what Vanity Metrics means - It's that thing organisations and governments do/behave/act/implement etc. 'for show'. Policies void of 'what actually matters' are established and rarely enforced, or, as we all too often know, turn a blind eye to, destroying lives in it's process.
Does no one REALLY know how or have the power to, not just unite (we are allowed to be who and how we are and stand alone if we wish) but by ACTIVELY AND INTENTIONALLY NOT SEPARTATE and to stop generating separate sets of rules?
Governments and business need to be liable for paving practical steps to nourish social growth and nurture collective community livelihoods. Not tomorrow, not to start developing another empty policy or promise to begin 1, 2 years from now or at the 'tomorrow never comes day'.
Gender bias is a fact. It's the people who feel a lack of self and fake entitlement who try to control women (not just, but the majority) or make changes for women, suggest changes for them, make decisions for them. If we just for a moment, take the word "woman" out of the sentence and ask the questions directed at the Human Being, taking a human centered approach and working collaboratively rather than dictorially, perhaps then we could begin to talk from a more balanced perspective.
People are vey good at talking and having good intentions but, in actually wanting change, hmm, I don't know...
