I recently read the following when learning about development, and then found the same statistics in several other sources. They are terrifying and show the need for real feminism (in the developing world mainly) if this is true:
Women are 1/2 the world's population;
Women do 2/3 of all working hours;
Women produce 1/2 of all the food on Earth.
Yet women earn only 1/1o of all income,
And legally own only 1% of all property in the world.
Women are the key to development in the Global South.

It's scary: 1% too many.
He's joking people. If he wasn't I'd hold it up "as an example of What We Don't Stand For"...
No! I'll not take it. First they want the right over their own bodies; now they want rights over other things!
If you keep this up, Austin, I'll reveal YOUR blog to everyone!
