Women: “We don’t need men.”

Military — 95% men
Firefighters — 97% men
Coal miners — 95% men
Truck drivers — 90% men
Construction workers — 92% men
Oil rig workers — 96% men
Surgeons — 82% men
Engineers — 89% men

"The world runs because of men."

Okay, let's finish the list.

Teachers — 76% women
Nurses — 88% women
Social workers — 83% women
Child care workers — 94% women
Elder care workers — 80%+ women
Administrative & clerical staff — 72% women
Medical & health services managers — majority women

The care economy that raises children, educates society, cares for the sick, and looks after the elderly is overwhelmingly female.

Still not done.

Prison population — 96% men
Sex offenders in prison — 98.5% men
Sexual offense prosecutions — 98% men
Domestic homicide perpetrators — 90% men
Violent crime offenders — 85%+ men

So if we're going to credit men for everything society builds, we should also acknowledge who commits most of the violence that society has to deal with.

And while we're at it:

Childbirths — 0% men.

Every man who has ever existed got here because of a woman.

Militarys exist largely because humans wage wars — and historically, wars have overwhelmingly been started and fought by men.

Nobody said men are unnecessary.

People said misogyny is unnecessary.

There's a difference.

Many of the industries used as examples of male dominance were fields women were historically barred from entering. Women were excluded from combat roles, denied access to engineering schools, shut out of trade unions, fired for pregnancy, and legally prevented from entering entire professions.

You don't get extra credit for dominating spaces where others weren't allowed to compete.

The reality is simple:

Society isn't built by men alone.

Society isn't built by women alone.

It functions because both contribute but often in different ways, often in ways that go unnoticed.

Hearing my child say "that person is working out like mommy. Instead of mommy is working out like them" warms up my heart

Today was an off day & my hubby was with me at drop off, which I know he didn't expect because he came up looking hella fresh today & kept looking back like "did you see me?"

[IndigOwl @Plasc18]

He comes out like clockwork & the thing is that I'm not even there at the same time everyday

[IndigOwl @Plasc18]

Y'all, if I ever go missing the man that lives next to my child's daycare probably did it.

I guess you have to know history to understand it did you know that Spain was under Muslim rule for 800 years between 700 ad and 1492 the reason why the Spanish language sounds so much like Arab language is because it influenced it so much while Muslims ruled Spain Jesus read some history people
