In the last three years, women’s jobs in Afghanistan have been banned from university, Park And the gym. About 20 US states have aborted Illegitimate Or stiff to secure. Fatal protests after a young woman arrested “Inappropriate” The clothing died in custody.

Americans have re -elected a president who propagated against a female rival that he said “Disabled“,“ Mentally retarded ”and a“ dummy ”.

Then Andrew Tate, self-proclaimed Misoginist influencers and Trump champions Who thinks “Everything on the planet was built on a woman who obeyed his man to the family”.

Washington officials did it in the United States from Romania last month after pressing Bucharest Lift restrictions on his trip. He and his brother were detained in Romania since 2022 Charge Including sexual absorption and human trafficking, which they deny.

In contrast to this background, any indication of the progress of female equality is welcomed. And as it is, things are looking for things. Personally.

Over the past few years, a growing part of people around the world has said that they think that the pressure for women’s rights has gone enough.

However, the ratio has dropped from 5 percent last year to 5 percent, it is 3-country Study By the global Institute Kings College showed women’s leadership in London and IPSOS polling firm this week.

In the same way, part of people who think that equality efforts have gone so far that men are now suffering discrimination, as there is a proportion that a person is at home to look after his children is less than a man.

These decreases are welcome but small. And the survey still suggested that almost every second adult of the world around the world thinks it has worked with female equality, which is not obviously.

Working women still earn Less than 20 percent Compared to men worldwide and last month, only 27 percent Parliamentarian Was the woman.

Even in the rich OECD countries, it will take more than 46 years to stop the penal salary gap at the current progress rate, PWC Data Shown this month. And the gap is actually widening in the monetary service boards of Europe, where EY It is said that male directors were given at least, 000 100,000 more than their female associates in 2023.

King has one more thing about college research. If you dig data, it shows the improving attitude of female equality that is far from the uniform. Progress has been pronounced in Italy, the United Kingdom and other Western European countries across the G7. However, the opinions of the United States and Canada have just been crushed and the issues in Japan mysteriously moved backwards, where female equality attempts are definitely divided by people who lead to discrimination against men.

Why this is not completely clear. France’s views were probably spread through the horrific case of Dominic Pelicot, who repeatedly drugs his wife and invited dozens of strangers to rape her in unconsciousness. Maybe Trump’s election victory influenced the US opinion in the United States. But one thing is clear: the bay is still worrying between young men and women.

In the so -called generation Z Under -30, 57 men think feminism has gone so far that men are now suffering discrimination, 36 percent of females vs.

And 20 percent of youths think that a person who lives at home to look after children is less than a man, compared to 5 percent of women. Half of the women of this generation define themselves as feminist than about a third of men.

It is compatible with widening Political division It is exposed to growing conservative 20-some men and more progressive young women. In fact, the Metu movement is thought to be a major driver of the interval.

The question is how to stop it. I agree with feminist thinkers Desire More Recognition Among the problems that boys and men face, from educational underchives to homelessness, suicide and loneliness.

In the end, gender equality is not seen as a zero-equality game that women can only win at the expense of men.

This idea is a rocket fuel for Tate’s preferences. It also threatens to unveil the progress that has taken so many decades to achieve it. Alas, it seems to be more involved today than ever.
