How can feminism have "won" when nearly all girls are sexually harassed before the age of 17, many beginning at around 10 or 11? When 1 in 6 women will be victims of attempted or completed rape? Where 35% of male college students admit that they have used coercion to get a date to do something sexual that she did not want to do? Where out of 1,000 sexual assaults, 975 perpetrators will walk free?

How can feminism have "won" when women are still so often assumed to not be in positions of authority or expertise because of their gender? How can feminism have "won" when women who want to go into male dominated professions and become police officers or surgeons are routinely and often openly subjected to hazing and abuse? How can feminism have "won" when women are regularly drummed out of STEM education as well as STEM professions?

You live in a privilege bubble. Time to wake up to realities.
