Completely agreed, however, that doesn't answer my question.
I'm still trying to educate myself about what stronger rights are missing that would make a difference in the parity along the various axes discussed above.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoWhen I was in my twenties, I did a lot of reading to try to understand where my life went so very wrong. My takeaway from all that reading: European women sought societal support to help ease the burden of being child-bearers and child-rearers. In contrast, American women seem to have taken the traditional American political position of "Don't tread on me!" European women have generally done a better job of closing the wage gap. The US is the only developed country on the planet with no national maternity leave, as just one example. So you might start there in looking for stuff to read, though my kids are grown and I'm post menopausal, so that is largely irrelevant to my life currently and fails to fully explain my personal frustrations.
