RE: Does Steemit Do The Most to Support Gender Equality?

in #steemit7 years ago

Well, steemit will be what the users make it, and it ain´t all pretty.
I would assume for example that the majority of whales is male, that means men have the power here.
Now if there were a lot of misogynist whales that would reflect on women´s experiences on steemit.
Somewhere in the comments here I read about one woman´s bad experience with some misogynist middleeastern minnow, so even the small fish are ready to abuse.
What you are describing @jerrybanfield is some idealistic view of what steemit could be.
There is the potential that women can earn the same here as men and with some profile names you don´t even know if it is male or female behind it.
But there is also the possibility that in order to really make it on steemit you have to be one of the boys.
So for me steemit is a great adventure, of course not flawless, but pretty much a reflection of the real world.
Everybody has the chance to make it but not everybody will and not even everybody has equal opportunity.

What would the world look like if we all really do have equal opportunities and many of us think that opportunity must look the same for everyone?
