Emma Grede’s entire framework is deeply deeply flawed and her narrative stems from a deep level of privilege in her adult life… which is not highlighted enough… start with yourself assumes that we hold the power in a system that disempowers women daily and is designed to set us back

The “figure it out yourself” framework only works when you have the resources to figure it out. Amen to this.

As a white woman, I really liked your perspective and the statistics + reports you've shared, thank you! I may have not experienced the constraints coloured people have to live with, but I definitely support the inequality in terms of care distribution (however, I see that in the Northen countries it's changed significantly — while in Russia women still have 3-year long paid maternity leaves, in Denmark or Sweden a lot of men go on that leave and women continue working). Thanks for the insights!
