Unsere sechste deutsche Podcast Episode ist heute erschienen! Wir sprechen darüber warum es frauen- und männerdominierte Berufe gibt, Frauen immer noch unterrepräsentiert in der Chefetage und wie hoch eigentlich der #GenderPayGap ist und woher dieser kommt.

[Shetopia Network @ShetopiaNetwork]

Außerdem erklärt uns @llhipp was der #GenderPensionGap ist, wo man immer noch größere Hürden für Frauen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt erkennen kann - besonders in Bezug auf unbezahlte #Carework - und wie die Pandemie diese Geschlechterungleichheiten verstärkt hervorbringt.

Worldwide in 2020 only 25% of the seats in national parliaments were occupied by women. #underrepresentation #equality #geschlechterparität

[Shetopia Network @ShetopiaNetwork]

Up to this day women and queer people are underrepresented in positions of executive power and democratic representative parliaments. In 2021 the highest position of executive power was held by a woman in only 14 countries. #sheshouldrun #femalepoliticians

or colonial beauty standards: feminine beauty defined as fair skin, long hair, petite figure, small nose, almond eyes. It is also hard to conform to any of them: you would have to invest lots if time and money while companies profit off insecurities. (5/5)

Let's talk about beauty standards - a thread (1/5)

[Shetopia Network @ShetopiaNetwork]

There are many problematic aspects concerning beauty standards:
pedophilic beauty standards for women (no body hair, flawless skin without any wrinkles or acne, no stretch marks or cellulite, short stature, sexualisation of school uniforms) (4/5)
