equality

• Feminism is about equality, but in order to get a place in which everyone can be treated equally, we first need to practise equity so that women are given what it is that they need in order to be able to access what men are allowed through privilege. 
•  While 2023 was a great year for female directors, with Greta Gerwig winning a multitude of awards for her film, Barbie, women comprise just 16% of the top 250 films, down from 18% in 2022. This is counterproductive in terms of the feminist movement.
• Another example of inequality in society is the gender pay gap. In the UK, the median gender pay gap percentage is 8.8%, and has increased by 2.2% from 2020.
• On top of this, women earn 78 cents for every dollar a man makes in the USA. Even in the 10 top paying jobs for women, females earn less than men; only one career, speech pathology, pays the same regardless of gender.
• Though, the gender pay gap has bigger repercussions than just women generally being less wealthy than men, it reduces women’s lifetime earnings and also affects their pensions. This is one of the significant causes of poverty in later life for women. Therefore, showing that gender inequality has greater consequences than to what meets the eye.
