Suzanne Harrington: Breaking the gender bias is long overdue

The first time I heard the word bias was in school, in Home Economics, a class where girls were taught how to cook and sew – and bias binding was not a tool of the patriarchy, but something you did with a sewing machine

It is somewhat mind-blowing that here, now, in 2022 – where tech and science advances mean billionaires (the name we give oligarchs who are not Russian) can fund space exploration as a hobby – we are still in a position where half of the global population continues to oppress the other half. And the other half continues to put up with it.

Why else would International Women’s Day exist, if the other 364 days were not structurally in favour of international men? No matter how feminist/aware/fair-minded individual men are – and millions are – structurally, women are still banging their heads against bias.
