Sure. Women are also vastly under represented in the homeless population and in the suicide rates. Are we going to mandate some executions and evictions to level the playing field? Men are under represented in primary education and you didn’t mention the plight of women attempting to be bricklayers, or soldiers.

I have yet to see a progressive feminist bat an eyelid about the mandatory military service of EVERY man between 18 and 60 in the Ukraine conflict. Wasn’t this discriminatory and unequal? Sure…. Women have the option to stay and fight if they wanted but half the population was legally required to stay and take up arms.

It’s not that your arguments aren’t valid, they are…. They just miss the wider points. They’re all about getting female super heroes and becoming politicians and CEOs. These are clap-baiting points designed to generate a tub thumping response. I want more from a writer as talented as you are.

So, where do you stand on a real modern feminist issue. Are you prepared to mandate all Ukrainian women between 18 and 60 return to the front line - or are you going to challenge Zelensky’s anti-feminist and discriminatory position?
