So basically, your battle now is mindless whining based on fallacies and victimhood. Got it. How about not?
Women do NOT get paid less for equal work. Only someone utterly inexperienced with adulthood would believe such nonsense. (And by the way, consider the fact that I'm explaining this to you, instead of expecting you to grow up and learn it for yourself, to be my good deed for the week.) This concept assumes the work is taking place in a closed bubble, utterly divorced from anything else that has ever happened around the job being done right now, today. That's not how the world works.
I get paid more than about two-thirds of the co-workers on my team. We do exactly the same job, in exactly the same place, with exactly the same supervisor. So is this "unequal pay for equal work"? No, because the tasks we perform each day are not the only factor going into our pay, nor should they be. In the case of half my teammates, I've been at this company nearly a year longer than they have, and have therefore received time-served raises which they haven't yet. As for the rest of my teammates, I have more extensive training than they do. While I am, at the moment, doing the same job they are because that is what our company needs me to do, I am cross-trained to do other jobs they are not for when THAT need arises. Because I am willing and able to make myself available for those things, I am compensated both by a slight increase in my hourly wage, and - more important to me - by increased job security over them. Although we technically hold the same job title and level, if the company starts letting people go, I will be among the last to leave before the doors close. I also, not coincidentally, have higher quality scores across the board than anyone else on my team.
Women face violence at higher rates
in some regards because of nature, not because of law, and as I said, there's not a thing you can do to make Mother Nature give a damn about your ideas of "fairness and equality". People are different from each other, and always will be. Life sucks for everyone in some way, and that way is going to depend on their individual differences. Learn to deal with it, because there is no law you can pass that's going to change it.
As for "underrepresented', what does that mean, exactly? That there should be some High Arbiter handing out public positions based on reproductive organs, rather than on abilities, votes, and perhaps even the wishes of the women themselves? Maybe you feel the need to be discriminated for because you think having a vagina is a birth defect that makes you less capable, I have no idea. I personally find it offensive.
None of this requires a horde of screeching viragos vilifying men, dressing up as vaginas, or bitching and moaning about the unfairness of their own biology to change. Butch up, buttercup, and be an individual who lives and improves her own life, not a cog in the Great NOW Machine of Group Rights.
Only a leftist would decide that disagreement with them and their "sacred truths" is so obviously ONLY due to hatred that even women are woman-haters if they dare to think for themselves and conclude that the left is wrong.
