I see this post as interesting, and containing a few tidbits i hadn't seen before, but getting the conversation around gender equality exactly nowhere. I agree that it is not much new to those of us with average hubski levels of intelligence, or anyone with a lot of knowledge on the topic. But it's a good tl;dr( apart from the bit where he implies feminism has done everything it can) for people to read something from a less biased angle before they make their minds up and start spewing crap all over social media.

As someone who has, in some ways, seen life from "both sides", my personal observation is that the bias against female presenting people is amazingly easy to see if you're looking for it, and even easier to see when you're living it. Do you mean in the workplace or in general? if you feel like sharing I'd love to hear your story.

But I also say maybe it is time to stop fighting the last war and adjust your strategy to reflect the reality in 2015. It's hard to tell what he means by this. Maybe he is talking about issues outside the work place or the huge mess that is Saudi Arabia and similar countries? It would be great if he was on Hubski.
