\nSleep.Eat.Write<\/a> responds on Medium to a women who doesn’t believe in women’s rights or the Women’s March entitled, “You Are Not Equal. I\u2019m Sorry.<\/a>” Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n

You are not equal. Even if you feel like you are. You still make less than a man for doing the same work. You make less as a CEO, as an athlete, as an actress, as a doctor. You make less in government, in the tech industry, in healthcare.<\/p>\n

You still don\u2019t have full rights over your own body. Men are still debating over your uterus. Over your prenatal care. Over your choices.<\/p>\n

New Zealand\u2019s women have the smallest gender gap in wages, at 5.6%. United States\u2019 pay gap is 20%.<\/p>\n

Iceland has the highest number of women CEOs, at 44%. United States is at 4.0%.<\/p>\n

The United States ranks at 45 for women\u2019s equality. Behind Rwanda, Cuba, Philippines, Jamaica.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
