RE: A Response to Overthinking Wealth Distribution by @meno
women make up just over the half the population in the States (also in the UK) and are more likely to control the purse strings in a household even if they aren't the main earners
true, but like in all forms of inequality, you can't force people to change, only try to educate them about a more equal way of living, but still the change has to come from within and with a strong understanding that there is a support network available to them.
I agree. But are you talking about women changing? Or men?
Everyone's attitudes, but any change in life usually only occurs when the fear, pain or difficulty of staying the same becomes greater than the fear, pain or difficulty of changing.
As for the disproportion of women in IT, I personally think the wage disparities are the most important issue we face and need addressing primarily, this creates a feeling and sense of equality and fairness, then look at the numbers per sector.
I actually converse with about 50, 50 m/f but I never think about it. People are people.
Be inspired by the Filipino community here, 80% active members are women I'd guess.
Finally, I don't even have a bloody purse :-(
I'm sorry you don't have a purse. That is a tragedy.
Interesting about the Filipino community - I wonder how they are doing in terms of wealth?
Part of the problem is (lack of) visibility. Everyone is lumped together and then the situation is governed and interpreted by the dominant population.
