Nur ganz fix: Der 400 Seiten starke Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink ist soeben erschienen und kann derzeit kostenlos herunter geladen werden. Hierbei geht es vor allem um die große Frage: Ist Gleichberechtigung real? Anhand zahlreicher Studien, Forschungsergebnisse und Geschichten kommen wir der Antwort vielleicht ein kleines bisschen näher. Essays zum Thema gibt’s auch, und zwar verfasst von großen Denkern und populären Power Frauen wie Eva Longoria (Empowering Latinas), Sheryl Sandberg oder Tory Burch.
Und so findet beispielsweise Beyoncé: Gender Equality Is a Myth!
„We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn’t a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn more—commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect.
If women received pay equal to their male counterparts, the U.S. economy would produce $447.6 billion in additional income.
Humanity requires both men and women, and we are equally important and need one another. So why are we viewed as less than equal? These old attitudes are drilled into us from the very beginning. We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.
We have a lot of work to do, but we can get there if we work together. Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities.“
