Gender equality is essential for building a fair and just society where everyone has the same opportunities, rights, and respect, regardless of their gender. It's not just about women’s rights but creating a world where all genders can thrive without being limited by stereotypes or systemic barriers. Gender equality benefits everyone—it promotes diverse perspectives, strengthens economies, and fosters healthier relationships.
However, achieving true gender equality requires more than just laws or policies; it involves changing societal attitudes, dismantling outdated norms, and addressing intersectionality. People’s experiences with inequality differ based on race, class, and other factors, making it crucial to approach this issue holistically.
While progress has been made, gaps still exist in areas like wage disparity, representation in leadership, and access to education. Advocating for gender equality isn’t about elevating one group over another—it’s about creating an environment where everyone can reach their potential, free from discrimination or bias.

some people have a wrong idea how to measure or compare equality vs equity... specially if we talk about the prime example pay/wage gap...

I agree. I wish people were more devoted to this idea of gender equality. Unfortunately, it seems impossible for people to agree on much. The current state of equality varies greatly throughout the world, and between cosmopolitan and rural communities. And of course, people tend to be biased, and selfish, and stupid, etc., especially on social media.
Like so many things, it would be great to even discuss the subject with people who were devoted to honesty and logic: in this case with the idea that men and women are inherently equal in many ways, and equally deserving and worthy of respect. Only then can we approach the issues without the underlying agendas and preconceived ideas that destroy communication.
