Antisexism

115 readers

This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.

Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.

Rules:

1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)

Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.

2. Be civil and listen before you speak

The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.

3. Respect personal experiences

All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.

4. Everyone is welcome!

Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

If you look into official data on the voting rights for women, it will paint you a pretty positive picture: all countries, except for Vatican city, do officially allow women to vote in elections.

However, in practice, there can still be plenty of barriers for women to vote. From legal restrictions for women to leave their house without husband's permission, to threats of violence on the booths, there are many things that make it impossible for women to actually put in the ballot.

The article explores these barriers in some of the countries around the world.
