Could Coronavirus set gender equality back decades? | BBC Stories

Equallity of opportunity, not equallity of outcome.

I absolutely believe pre-existing issues have compounded during all of this. I would actual need someoneto draw my attention to some sort of new mitigating factor(s) to feel like it wouldn't during a time of crisis like this. Shelter-in-place has left a lot of people stuck in whatever situations they were in before and put a lot of insane new strains on them during this pandemic that have just made everything worse. Those who can still work and need to have had to risk themselves to this disease regularly and that brings a major psychological toll and risk of death. Those who can't work and need to work are just stuck at home while everything gets worse and worse. This is especially true given how constraining the means of curbing such things are, making your breathing more labored while everyone keeps their distance from you and touching and interacting with regular objects out in the world can be anxiety producing now. Those who disregard those problem risk themselves and the people around them as we become depressed, frustrated, agitated, sometimes even callous. And terrible things happen. And terrible things keep happening. Being isolated in so many places is at best giving people cabin fever as the days bleed together like some insane endless day, it stretches on and on. You can't just go out in public, you need a reason to be allowed outside, you have to cover your face, you can't just meet up with people unless you know them and that they are safe, and people just keep dying. But despite all of this people are trying to figure this out. They aren't just pretending nothing is wrong like that somehow helps. They are not ignoring new challenges. They are doing what they can. And that includes mentioning the problems they are facing during all of this. I am proud of them because the only way anything ever gets better is by noticing something that could be better and working on it. I know that's hard, but we need that. Yeah, taking some time to calm down and collect your thoughts is good but telling people not to talk, think, react, etc to the things going on in their lives is idiotic. We have to deal with this. We need to find a way to make things better when they are shit instead of sweeping it under the rug like some irresponsible child that can't do their fucking chores. So fuck off everyone who says acting like nothing is wrong is the answer here.

No.

hello everyone i would to know if this a kind of documentary for gender inqualtiy?

The fact that you are taking issues that affect both genders like disabilities, eating disorders, anxiety and body image and sipinning them to fit your agenda is so scummy, you are making it sound like they only affect women, and in the process you show that you don't really care about disabled people, or people fighting with mental ilness, and as someone that battles with mental illness this fucking angers me.

A nice thing is that it has stopped the right wing blah-blah about wearing hijabs (religious symbols law/policy in Québec government). Everyone has to wear a mask. It levels the field ironically.

Enforced quotas on gender, race etc. = Modern hierarchy

Disturbing

Help me understand though, why how do women struggle more? Why are numbers higher? I see single mothers, for example. I see people who are poorer being at a disadvantage because they do frontline work. I see nurses who are predominantly women could be struggling.

I'm surprised by the amount of bad takes and opinions in this comments section. Though, really, I shouldn't be.

I feel bad giving this video a thumbs down. Each of these people need help, but I don't I don't know if I agree this is gender equality issues. The woman with the abusive husband is a domestic violence problem which is a problem that is amplified because of Corona. The other issues presented are also real issues, but they seem like issues that effect low income people rather than gender.

Interesting, they don't mention the domestic abuse and torture, that Muslim women have to go through in their arranged marriages.

Why are there more women nurses than men you may ask? SIMPLE! Because more men get sick because of women. **Jack Tripper**

Hahahha what about the transformers? Will they go back to the closet?
