I mean, there will never be true equality when women don’t have to sign their bodies over to selective service or get a bunch of rights stripped away. Or when we overly commoditize the attention and speech (and just general financial, and social support) around women’s rights and empowerment when the education gap, sentencing gap, and mental health/suicide/substance abuse/homeless gap is continuing to widen with women being the “favored”, which harms men and drives them towards shit like trumpism.

The solution to your problem is ironically empowering men more, as the motherhood gap does have measurable affects on say; one’s earning ability.

Do you think it could be good for business to support gender equality? I believe it is.

I agree. And the comment about blue states vs red states, I would argue that blue states for the most part have higher education, higher income, therefore higher life expectancy.

Yeah until men have to carry the babies there never will be true equality. Equity maybe but I'm not even sure how you offset the misery of simply having a female vessel. I mean seriously, all else aside, this body sucks. (not trans)

As we send all the boomers, ahm snowbirds down to Florida, yes you are welcome. But beware, winter!

Nowhere has gender equality.

Michigan and Minnesota doing some heavy lifting fr. Proud of y’all :)

Correlation is not the same as causation. Weak article. And no mention of Japan? (long life expectancy, low equality)

No. And less every year as it gets hotter.

But to answer your question: anyone who doesn't like Ron DeSantis (Meatball Ron) is welcome here.

And now this

Vandermill is ok too.

We are the anti-Florida

"My right to discriminate others is fundamental to my religion!"

It goes even further than that. In the USA, for example, blue states (progressive/democrat) have a higher life expectancy than red states by a pretty decent margin.

I think local policies make a big impact.

Which is completely valid.

Don't forget the bridge to Canada!

Yeah, I'm more or less Taoist myself, and it seems like I've read more of the bible than some of them

"The breakthrough drug increases survival rates by 50 per cent without the need for surgery or chemotherapy." [Sic]

Chemotherapy literally means to treat with a chemical substance, i.e. a drug. This type of misunderstanding is why I hate scientific journalism. As well, percent is one word, not two.

My only regret is that I didn’t cure my boneitis.

I think most christians haven't actually read the bible in depth. I'm agnostic, but I've read the bible multiple times, and it really opened my eyes to the depth of hypocrisy among a lot of modern christians. If something is supposed to be a holy book with the commandments of god, it's very interesting how they just pick and choose which rules to follow and completely disregard like, half of what jesus actually said.

Honestly, jesus was a pretty alright guy with a lot of good ideas and moral values. It's unfortunate how so many christians love absolutely ignoring what he said while simultaneously claiming to love and obey him.

So there is evidence that "happy wife, happy life" is in fact true.

Countries that care most about gender equality are rich countries which obviously have a higher live expectancy. Doesn't sound that surprising to me.
