Bill and Melinda Gates: No matter where you're born, 'life will be harder if you are born a girl'

Bill and Melinda Gates say inequality is holding women — and society in general — back, in The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's annual Goalkeepers Data Report.

That’s because starting from a young age, boys’ and girls’ lives diverge: Females receive less education than boys, they marry earlier and they do more unpaid care work, according to the report.

They transition, sometimes at a very young age, from being subservient to their parents to being subservient to their husbands. Although they enjoyed some measure of freedom while attending primary school, they are expected to return to the confines of the home, to devote themselves to cooking, cleaning and raising children

Women are also paid less than men for work they do outside the home. In the U.S., women earn 80 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn, according to Equal Pay Today. The wage gap is greatest for Latina women, who earn 53 cents for every dollar men earn, followed by Native American women (58 cents) and Black women (61 cents). White women earn 77 cents for every dollar, and Asian-American women earn 85 cents.

I call bullshit. I cut my hair every 3 weeks. Men take way more haircuts than women per year. We end up paying more in the long run.

[ellias]

Maybe in 3rd world countries. In the West, that couldn't be further from the truth.

Women are also paid less than men for work they do outside the home.

These people are on the same level as flat-earthers, imo. Completely retarded.

That's funny. When I left school, all us boys were forced to work in a shitty factory, yet the girls were sent to be office interns........

Isn't it time to abolish most women's prisons?

A parliamentary campaign launched today from Soroptimist and the Prison Reform Trust, suggests women and their families are disproportionately affected by a jail term. Ahead of Vicky Pryce's expected release next month, Cathy Newman appraises the effectiveness of female imprisonement in the UK and considers the alternatives.

men die earlier, work harder jobs, fight all the wars, fill up more prisons, are generally more disagreeable and aggressive, are doing worse in schools, on and on

don't even get me started on wage gap garbage

[highrider]

Women win because they have inherent utility in their ability to procreate. Men have to be able to gain mastery of something and work like a demon, or we end up being some fool babbling to himself walking down the street or locked up. People give a fuck about women. Someone will actually listen to your problems without you having to pay them

To be a man with a good life, you must be strong, smart, tall, grow facial hair, good-looking, make a lot of money, be able to impress a girl by guessing what she likes, work long hours, take risks, etc. You don't need to have all of those things, but the less you have, the worse off you are.

To be a woman with a good life, don't get as fat as a hippo. Put makeup on, do squats, and get breast implants. The world is yours. You can marry into money. You can make a living posting pictures. You know that sex you're trying to sell? Well some guys will want it and may make comments or an advance. So I totally understand that hardship.

 

[Komatsu]

I don't think it's controversial that, yes, being born female will make your life (much) harder in most of the world's countries.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

yes this is true. and the farther you go back in history, the more true it is.

 

[Tesseract]

men and women have it rough for various reasons, it's not a competition

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

The opposite is true.

1 in 16 US women first sexual experience is through rape. And that's just from what we know so far .. many people don't report it.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

People who actually think one gender has it harder than the other are having a break from reality. Men suffer. Women suffer. Even if you're cherry picking a topic -- like rape, to pick a common one -- have we collectively forgotten the catholic diddling of boys and Hollywood pedophiles targeting male child actors?

 

[Papa]

1 in 16 US women first sexual experience is through rape. And that's just from what we know so far .. many people don't report it.

Do you genuinely believe that number? Not as ludicrous as the 1 in 4 number that’s trotted out thanks to abuse of statistics by including things like unwanted staring, but still unbelievable.

 

[Papa]

I don't think it's controversial that, yes, being born female will make your life (much) harder in most of the world's countries.

Utter nonsense and it’s worrying how influential feminist pseudo-science is on modern discourse. Men are less valuable from a reproductive standpoint and are therefore the ones that society deems it acceptable to expose to risk. This is the reason that men occupy both extremes: the cushy CEO positions that feminists harp on about, but also the overwhelmingly more common janitors, sewage workers, practically any position that involved exposure to physical harm. In times of relative peace, technological advancement and economic prosperity like we have today, this perspective is lost, but go back as recently as ~40 years ago (Vietnam War) and there’s a good chance that you’ll be sent to die on a battlefield simply for being born as the wrong gender at the wrong time. Ain’t no feminists in war time. I wonder why that is.

Well i'm sure it's tough in parts of the world where it's generally preferred for a family to have a boy (or at least one boy in a flock of larvae). However to say something like this in the woke western world is completely stupid, i'm sorry.

 

[EightBit Man]

Are we still living in the age where women are working themselves to death in factories, taken into employment because they were even cheaper than children?

 

[Papa]

Are we still living in the age where women are working themselves to death in factories, taken into employment because they were even cheaper than children?

Are we still living in an age where men are sent to die on a battlefield or toil away in the least desirable jobs on the planet because they are more expendable than women?

The answer to only one of our questions is yes.

 

[Stilton Disco]

The far left really have built their own alternative set of facts, compelte with a full set of self referential 'studies' and documentation to allow them to perpetuate their delusions without the need to approach objective reality.

Stuff like this that is demonstrably false is just going to be used as more evidence to 'prove' their arguement next time, and that's honestly kind of horrifying.

You're okay, dude? Stop talking emotional non-sense and get your shit together. Of all the things you've said this is easily one of the dumbest things.

Rape in the United States - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The current projected number is probably way below 30 rapes / 100.000 people a year in the US.

This doesn't go well with your numbers. Go figure.



Regarding the topic: Women have it easier in 1st world countries. Paradoxically, 1st world feminists fight for people who are largely responsible for the fact, that woman in 3rd world countries or some other non-western countries have it way harder.

When the statistics don't support your narrative, you can either change your narrative or change the statistics. Guess which one feminists did.

 

[McCheese]

To be fair, this is probably true in a lot of cultures where women are second rate citizen's.

In the west I would argue that attractive women are at the top of the food chain, in terms of what they can get for how little effort.

And here we see the wild feminist in its natural habitat changing statistics to suit the narrative. They reveal their narrative in the abstract:

This is the lead author's (Laura Hawks) first publication and a quick look at her Twitter profile reveals her to be a gender ideologue.

This is a hell of a conclusion to make from the presented data. Given that it appears to be based in ideology rather than reason, I question how the data was generated.

When statistics don't fit your narrative

It's always great, when a "neutral" study starts with "The #MeToo movement has highlighted how frequently women experience sexual violence." and the main author of the study is a known feminist.

This whole "study" is non-sense and not applicable to the real world. I know, that you don't understand that, because you don't know much about science and how to create an academic study.

How were the 13.310 US women, who participated in this survey (which they call a study), selected?
What was the wording of the questions?
The study never uses the word rape once, instead it used words like "forced" and "coerced". How do people interprete this?



I mean, come on. I would totally fight for women and against rape IF these numbers were remotely true, but this is pure hyperbole and just an extended emotional rant, disguised as a "study". If you don't believe me, then just go outside, talk to 100+ women and just ask them, if their first sexual experience was them getting raped.

 

[Danglingwang]

Maybe in other parts of the world this is true but in the West? Sorry, not imo.

Women and Men in the West have more equality than ever before in history, as a matter of fact I would say that the balance tips in favour of women currently because of the hazardous work men have to do and how dangerous it is with ideologicslly charged movements like metoo which makes even conversing with a woman a dangerous prospect in this era of social media witchhunts.

Thank fuck I am not single and in the dating game, that's all I can say.

 

[Constant Flux]

Females are the dominant sex in this day and age. Forget equality. It’s all about having things handed to you on a silver platter. Women have all kinds of advantages over men.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

I'm amazed a smart fella like Bill put his name to this twaddle.

 

[EightBit Man]

I think the relationships between people in general are messed up. And I genuinely think that the advent of the smartphone was the final nail in the coffin of a somewhat tolerable environment. Just walk on the street and try to look into people's eyes. Unless you're suffering from the same deformation, you will notice a profound unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and even despair in the majority people. Women are unhappy, men are unhappy. All the promises of the enlightenment have been proven absolutely false. It's time for people to look at the bigger picture, instead of cherry picking things.

 

[betrayal]

The whole article contradicts itselfs permanently.

First off it starts with "No matter where you are born, your life will be harder if you are born a girl." only to provide statistics a few sentences later that show that women in modern countries are not at a disadvantage (Finland vs Chad, Ghana and Botswana).

Their arguments why woman are at a disadvantage EVERYWHERE are the following:

1) 2 fewer years of schooling in sub-saharan africa -> no comment required
2) 21% of women are married at the age of 18th -> wonder to whom and in which countries this happens
3) Woman do more unpaid work -> because it is their decision (raising children etc.)
4) Less opportunity (26% gap in the workforce) -> besides obvious reasons in some countries it is the same for modern / western countries as 3 and proven wrong countless times by simple statistics.


Woman are totally fine and have all kinds of opportunities in modern / western countries. They probably went a bit to much SJW with the "women are at a disadvantge everywhere" statement. So nothing new to see here. Just the ordinary emotions over facts chitchat.

 

[JimmyRustler]

These clickbait Statements have become so tiresome...

If Boy and Girl are born on the same economic level I guess, yes, the boy will probably have it slightly easier. But we do not live in a world where everybody is on the same economic level. I seriously doubt that Gate's daughter has it harder in life Than say a middle class boy, let alone a boy that is even poorer.

 

[Rya.Reisender]

I feel the advantages of being a woman are often overlooked. Like able to have sex any time you want and for free even if you don't look good. Dating is also considerably easier. You don't need to make the first move, you often even get to pick a partner out of multiple possible candidates. People will do a lot of stuff for you. People are often nicer to you too. Other women will also trust you easier and talk to you more openly.

Sure there are countries where being a woman sucks, but there are plenty countries where I'd opt for female if I was reborn and a higher entity asked me for my preference.
