(This matters because it's a #historical outrage.)

Have you ever heard of an Icosathlon? It's a double #decathlon. 20 events.

And just like the decathlon is exclusively open to men.

The Icosathlon was open to #women for two years (until 2021) & then eliminated - women were again barred from competing!

The 2021 #winner made her own #Icosathlon open to All this year, but its results remain "unofficial".

Imagine barring someone for their #gender in 2023...

Daily reminder that introducing a person as 'she's a mom AND doing a great job' perpetuates gender bias. Excellence isn't contingent on parental status. Let's be mindful of how we frame women's accomplishments #GenderEquality #UnconsciousBias

Gender-based violence is “being perpetrated on a massive and distressing scale” with more than 35,000 survivors seeking access to treatment and services after attacks in just the first six months of 2023 in the three provinces. Given that only a fraction of survivors report gender-based violence

G20 leaders also noted with concern the adverse impact of wars and conflicts around the world, especially in context of the war in Ukraine, including PM Narendra Modi's words to President Vladimir Putin: 'Today's era must not be of war'

Fox's alternate reality is a clear & present danger to democracy. Relying on the stupidity & gullibility of viewers, these propagandists imply that a "communist" California judge considers parents to be a "clear and present danger" to their children. In reality, the judge overthrew a school requirement that parents be informed of the sexual orientation of their children, knowing that LGBTQ+ children often are the victims of severe abuse by parents. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics #genderequality

Everyone Owes a #Debt to #Laborers

This #LaborDay, a day set aside as a national holiday in 1894, we commemorate the #laborunion movement, the demand for an eight-hour work day, better working conditions, #fairwages, and an end to #childlabor.
#Genderequality, #racialequality, fair #farmprices, and #farmworker rights are separate issues but all related to the struggle of the #unions for a fair wage and decent working conditions.

Inspired by a true story, Hoops dramatizes the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports. Taking place in Wilkins in Indiana in 1976, it follows a group of teenagers who created one of the first high school girls basketball teams.

I hate how, whenever someone criticizes a girl irl or a female character, some dumb “feminist” will always immediately label said critic as “misogynistic”, even if the critic didn’t mention the girl’s gender to begin with. Modern feminism is straw-gasping garbage. #antifeminism #genderequality

No law gives a man the right to harm his wife, yet we find ourselves needing to state it in court. This is a victory, but also a reminder of the deeply ingrained gender inequality in our society. I am hopeful, however, that this sets a precedent for future cases and wakes up our society to this grave issue. Let's continue the fight against injustice, one small step at a time. #Justice #GenderEquality #DelhiHC

The atlatl, a spear-throwing device, was used by prehistoric women to equalize labor while hunting, according to a recent study. The atlatl increased and equalized the velocity of projectiles launched by both genders, allowing more people to participate in hunting activities. The study also challenges gender stereotypes by suggesting women may have invented the atlatl.

Who would have thought 🙄

A study (https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/EGU22-2562.html) shows that women are more likely to win awards that are not named after men.
