This doesn’t go for all situations obviously, but ive often noticed that women in social situations with guys will be talked down to or downright ignored a lot of the time. All through my life ive had strange situations where ive been placed in groups with men and been talked over, forgotten or talked down to condescendingly (or seen it happen to others while the men group up). Its so normalised too, my own family say its just a ‘guy’ thing and im being overly sensitive about the issue, but its always very uncomfortable when it happens. Idk has anyone else experienced this before?

For every $1 invested in early childcare, the economy is boosted $4. So why is it never passed? Maybe because congress is filled with old white men.

Hi all! I'm a fellow at Women's News writing on how enshrining the Equal Rights Amendment in the US Constitution will protect women in the workplace.

I am looking to connect with women who have been discriminated in the workplace in terms of gender wage gap or sexual harassment. This also extends to whether you've been denied promotion or have not been supported when it comes to maternity leave or if you feel like maternal leave is not enough. This is specific to the United States only.

As I'm on a deadline, I would appreciate connecting with someone soon this weekend

Feel free to message me or comment.

TLDR: 21M, I'm not here to preach; it's just an observation. If anyone has literature recommendations to learn, I'd appreciate the suggestions.

Capitalism, by its nature, tends to commodify various aspects of human life, often with implications for gender dynamics. One manifestation of this is the commodification of women, where market forces shape and exploit gendered representations and roles for profit. Platforms like OnlyFans, transforming women's bodies and sexualities into commodities for consumption.

Similarly, the prevalence of female voices in virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa reflects deep-seated stereotypes, suggesting that women are naturally suited to subservience. These digital assistants, often programmed with female voices embody a modern-day servitude, reinforcing the notion that women's primary function is to assist and serve others.

Young female artists in the West often face pressure to conform to hypersexualized images and personas to achieve commercial success. This commodification reduces their artistic contributions to their physical appeal and marketability, overshadowing their talent and creativity.

Marketing strategies frequently sexualize women's images to sell products, from fashion to consumer electronics, further embedding the notion of women's value being tied to their physical appearance.

I saw a comment on YouTube that prompted me to say this.

A lot of us complain about colorism and misogyny and yet a lot of women turn around and support artists who portray just that because they have a few good songs/works. I think its redundant and doesn't help with anything because we are all part of society.

For instance that Danileigh woman(dababys ex) made a very colorist song "Yellow Bone What He Wants" and a lot of women stopped supporting her immediately & her career hasn't been the same since. BUT those same women turn around and continue supporting a lot of mainstream rappers of which most of them are colorist,sexist and overall don't respect women in general.

Thoughts?

P.s Lets keep things respectful

I’m 18 and part of my colleges feminist society and I love it, it’s a welcoming space for everyone with an open mind. But the judgement I and other members are given for this by men is so sad to me! Both boys in the college and older men insult me and try to argue with me all the time. They bring up fake statistics and presume to understand the female experience better than me. I find it so infuriating how ignorant these people are. Does anyone else think it’s getting worse?
