Gender equality has always been a women's issue, but why? Are women the ones largely causing gender inequality? No. So why do we still focus on 'empowering' women? Women do not need to change, other things do. ๐ซ๐น๐๐ @womensmarchlon #WomensMarch2019
Honoured to be representing @anythingint at the @FRCnews 'Diversity is not just a female issue' discussion this morning. Thought provoking discussion around intersectionality ๐ญ There are only 297 women on FTSE 100 boards and only 32 are BAME. We need more diversity allies!! ๐ซ
"Our evidence shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society, with costs for all of us. Put simply, we found that some portrayals in ads can, over time, play a part in limiting people's potential." https://t.co/CidczLM9Mh
Does not surprise me at all...the worst kind of in your face sexism I have ever seen was at Imperial College! They promoted a male professor known throughout the business school for his sexism after I tried to raise a formal complaint against him ๐ https://t.co/8oWJ0QTvVS
This is excellent - white supremacist violence & all forms of terrorism are overwhelmingly men's violence & we can't hope to stop them if we don't address that. Solidarity with @SophieRunning who is receiving misognystic abuse simply for stating this fact. https://t.co/vMH0Fettvl

Software is written by humans who have bias, the training data is generated by humans with bias -- it's not malicious (in most cases) but it does absolutely exist, @AOC is correct.

For me feminism is never about empowering women. It is about teaching society what equality actually is, undoing stereotypes that cage us, teaching boys how to treat girls as equals & teaching men how to respect women. Women don't need to change, other things do.๐น๐ #WomensMarch
