Attack of the 50 Ft. Women: How Gender Equality Can Save The World!
Attack of the 50 Ft. Women: How Gender Equality Can Save The World! | Catherine Mayer
3 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Not a single country anywhere in the world has achieved gender equality. In more than a few countries, progress for women has stalled or is reversing. Voters in the United States chose a misogynist over a female candidate for President.

Started this yesterday. Have you read it? Do you think we have gender equality already? If not what do you think it would look like? That is what Catherine Mayer attempts to answer in this book, charging my kindle up ATM, can't wait to see what she conjures up.

quietlycuriouskate Do you know this one? They have gender equality in their society because they're only gendered for a few days each month and each time might be either male or female. 7y

I couldn't pass up a book with this title. No idea what it was about. But then I read the back and I'm so glad I did!

Laura317 I saw the movie. It was hilariously campy! Right up there with Killer Clowns From Outer Space and Killer Tomatoes!! Of course, AFTER I post this I realize it's NOT the same thing. Still, wouldn't it be cool if we WERE all 50 ft Amazon women?!?! (edited) 7y
angrylilasian @Laura317 Haha! And yes it would be cool!! 7y

This is the front page of TODAY'S Daily Mail (in the U.K.).

Pictured are Theresa May, UK Prime Minister, and Nicola Sturgeon, the head of the Scottish Assembly.

The book I've tagged is by an author who was commenting about this photo on BBC Radio 4 this morning.

Here is exhibit A of why we need Feminism.
