I just read something on how affordable or free childcare is considered to be instrumental in gender equality. I find that weird. Whether or not you can afford childcare has nothing to do with whom of the parents goes to work and who stays home. Men, on average, are paid better for the same job. That's an issue. Traditional expectations on how cishet couples arrange life are an issue. The way we treat moms vs how we treat dads. That's an issue. The accessibility of childcare is an issue too. But not in regards to gender equality. Think we're blaming the wrong thing here. As per usual. #ChildCare #GenderEquality #WomensRights

Herman, in 'Trauma and Recovery', points out the rather fundamental problem. The thing researchers were trying to explain in those studies into abused women was men’s violence. Yet they were looking for the explanation in the characteristics of the women the men are violent towards. Men’s violence is men’s behaviour, and yet an enormous amount of effort has gone into trying to explain it by examining women. ♀️👀 3/13 #Feminism #EqualRights #SocialJustice #GenderEquality

Hey, fedi. What smaller non-profits do you recommend for donations?

Some beautiful people have been tipping me for my articles and my accessibility app. That gives me the warm fuzzies.

But I’m going to donate those tips, because other folks need them more. And I’m going to replace my tips links with non-profit donation links.

My current list:

  1. Sogorea Te’ Land Trust
  2. Audre Lorde Project
  3. Equal Justice Initiative
  4. STEM Like a Girl

Who are your faves?

Some folks may have heard about 31-year-old Kelsey Pfendler’s mastery of the sea. What I find most impressive is that she shattered the records she broke.

She rowed a boat from California to Hawaii ALONE. Her 2,400-mile journey took 44 days. In doing so she was the:

  1. Youngest woman
  2. First American woman
  3. Fastest woman
  4. Fastest human

She cut the previous women’s record (86 days) in half. She beat the previous men’s record (52 days) by just over a week.

What a beast. Go ahead and tell me men are physically superior to women. Kelsey straight up said “anything you can do, I can do better.”

Here’s a summary of a video diary she kept on route: https://www.kcra.com/article/kelsey-pfendler-record-breaking-row-california-hawaii-top-moments/71819753

Today I celebrate the dream that is America. One where every person is truly equal. Where the Constitution is not just followed, but respected. Where truth, ethics, compassion, and unity are the standard. Where the voices of #WeThePeople cannot be overridden by anyone. #TheConstitutionMatters #TruthMatters #WomensRights #BlackLivesMatter #GenderEquality #MarriageEquality #DEIMatters #AbolishIce #democracy #freedom #hope #birds #birding #raptors #BirdsOfPrey #BaldEagle #nature #NaturePhotography #SolaceInNature
