Why do you continually focus your ire on women?
Just comes across as sniping at women?

Why don’t you instead draw attention to the disproportionate negative effect of lockdown on women?
Now THAT would be feminism in action ✊🏽

Covid19 and Women’s Unpaid Work:
With schools and nurseries closed it is impossible for millions of parents to work. In addition to care work, having children at home all day increases the burden of domestic work, particularly cooking meals and cleaning.
Prior to lockdown, women took on more responsibility for unpaid care work, including childcare, than men. This impacts their ability to earn, save, and work from home.
Since lockdown, most nurseries, schools & childminders have closed, leaving women overwhelmingly responsible for the bulk of home childcare & schooling. They do this alongside working from home -whilst their partners are often able to work undisturbed in another part of the home.
Women do the bulk of household labour, inc housework, cleaning, cooking, childcare, home schooling etc.
On average, women do 60% more unpaid work than men.
Women are particularly likely to lose livelihoods under lockdown.
Women earn less than men, and do more insecure work.
Women do NOT have more time on their hands since lockdown.
That is a victim-blaming, misogynist myth.

Stop pointing the finger at women.
Start calling out the sexist inequality that underpins women’s paid & unpaid labour, both in the home and in the workplace.

THAT is feminism.
