Two recent examples of why #feminism is necessary, and where our focus should be: ultraorthodox Jews in Israel and Islamists in Iran.

Sometimes there is progress:
“It’s men, not women, who are now underrepresented in universities. Women in the United States have earned more bachelor’s degrees than men every year since the mid-1980s. Last fall, #women made up 59.2% of all those enrolled in a college or #university, and men made up only 40.8%. Women are also outperforming their male peers earning higher GPAs in high school and college, even in the male-dominated STEM fields. […] Efforts to help women in college are no longer necessary and are unfair to men. […] These initiatives [are] apparently illegal under Title IX. #TitleIX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. […] For the same reasons that universities can’t offer sports to #men only, they can’t offer awards solely to women.”
