“Can we all agree that cooking & cleaning is a basic life skill and not a gender role??????”

Reproductive labor is work -- typically designated to women -- that is required to sustain human life. It's unpaid, and is often invisible or unnoticed.

This includes tasks like cooking, cleaning, caring for children and more necessary to raise future generations. It's time to bring visibility to this labor, and acknowledge it for what it is: work. Far too many women and fems take on the bulk of household and domestic tasks in addition to having full time jobs -- also known as the 'second shift.' It's time to end gender inequality at home.

I was super excited to work with @Momcozy, who is working to provide comfort and companionship to parents from pregnancy through your child's early years. ❤️ parenthood is already hard enough, why not be comfy? their hands-free pump allow for on-the-go feeding and is designed with your body in mind.

There should be NO moral judgment given to how people choose to feed their children. Formula & chestfeeding are both valid. You have to do what’s best for you, your baby and your life

A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men. Dr. Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, "The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.

Phool: Why aren't we girls given any oportunities, grandma? Why do they force us to be helpless? Grandma: Maybe out of fear. Women can farm and cook. We can give birth to children and raise them. If you think about it, women don't really need men at all. But if all women figured this out, men would be screwed, wouldn't they?

alright folks,, i’m getting serious about this gender presentation for work!!

please let me know if there’s anything you think i should include about being gender-queer in the workplace, things you wish your co-workers knew or did (this can include gendered language/pronouns, vibes in the office or in the field, things to say/not say or assume—anything that comes to your mind!)

i’m tying my best to keep this presentation about gender and gender expression (not sexuality)—as i’d like to stay on topic and just focus on educating my fellow staff and supervisors on my experience with being gender-queer in a dominantly cis-het gendered field of work (social work/childcare/education)

open to hearing any and all thoughts :)))

Abigail Adams urges husband to “remember the ladies”

In a letter dated March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams writes to her husband, John Adams, urging him and the other members of the Continental Congress not to forget about the nation’s women when fighting for America’s independence from Great Britain.

The future First Lady wrote in part, “I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”

"Cycling has provided me autonomy, freedom, community, joy and adventure, as well as transportation. And I’m not the only one: Since their invention, bikes have offered women independence. Yet the bike community remains mostly male. To get more women and nonbinary cyclists on the road, we can look to the past and present for insights."

Bikes have long been a feminist symbol. So why don’t more women bike?

Quiz Lady (2023)

[neil-perrys-suicidal-tendencies]

My dad refuses to believe healthcare has gender inequality in healthcare.

His evidence - there are so many maternity and childcare hospitals and there has been so much research doe for breast and cervical cancer.

Privilege fucking goes hard man. Like, when I talk about my pain, even he doesn't believe me. Why would doctors💀💀.

And maternity and childcare hospitals exist so women don't fucking die in childbirth or from its complications.

Gonna pull out the statistics.

What's a man gonna tell about medical gaslighting?

Society sees men and women in fundamentally different ways.

Men are seen as the provider, the breadwinner, and protector of families. Women are often painted as the maternal carers in chief, or the meek damsel in distress, to be scooped up, and carried to safety.

Of course, neither of these regressive archetypes capture the truth of men and women, and over time, society has confronted such harmful stereotypes; be they in the workplace, at home, within business, or politics.

From the top down, gender norms are finally being shaken off and left behind.

But what about the gender norms of poor people – and might these same regressive models of men and women, be impacting the way society sees and helps those living in poverty?

Well, the latest science suggest it does –

A new 2023 study has found we see poor men as more to blame for being poor, as more incompetent, and consequently, less deserving of protection of societal support.

We look at a poor man and ask ourselves, ‘what has he done, or what mistakes has he made, to lead him to this life?’

Surely, he is at fault for this situation, and he is the only one capable of hauling himself out of this mess.

“Pull yourself up by the bootstraps man, get yourself together, and sort your life out!”

The familiar life lessons from privileged brats (who have likely never known such hardship) dished out with a side portion of smugness.

But it’s not quite the same on the other side.

As for poor women we more often ask, ‘what has been done *to her*, how has she been wronged, or hurt, to leave her destitute in this way?”

Women are the passive object of fate, and men are the instigator.

It makes little sense to me.

Worse, from these antiquated and harmful attitudes are borne intervention strategies, shelters, and support programs, actively refusing to help men – the group most likely to experience homelessness.

So, do we see poor men and poor women differently?

And who will confront and undo such gender norms, that have left so many of these poor men out in the cold, for so long?

What do you think?
