What people want is gender EQUITY, not gender EQUALITY. Equality is same resources for all even if it's not enough to put them on the same level. Equity puts everyone on the same level even if it means giving one group more resources to get them there

I don’t know. People these days not only don’t seem to know the difference, but are very anti-equity and equality. As the lack of it was putting one particular group ahead for so long.

Life. Look at CPR dummies, the models are almost entirely male. When there's an emergency situation, women are less likely to be given proper treatment because most good samaritans were not trained with female anatomy in mind. Sure hand placement is the same, but no one is desensitized to breasts being in the way. If female models were more regularly used, this issue would decrease significantly.

I mean taxes are based on equity for example. People wouldn’t be so outraged at DEI if it wasn’t a racial thing but an income thing. There is plenty of great examples of current equity in society. Another great example is welfare.

Idk I think this is sorta cherry picked and random. I don’t think it’s a gender problem for equity it’s a wealth problem.
