When we hear women’s issues, we think of issues like equal pay, reproductive rights, paid family leave and ending abuse and assault. These are all very important issues that society, not just women, need to be working to resolve.

I pretty much can’t stand the term “women’s issues” because I find that too many people use that as an excuse to either write them off as feminist bs or just absolve themselves of any liability because they don’t identify as a woman. Which is absurd. Cause not only do women’s issues effect every single person, there are so many other issues that also effect women.

The economy, immigration issues, and gun rights are often seen as masculine issues, but all of these directly impact women’s lives in the U.S. (I think we can all see that we need to just stop gendering societal issues since they affect every one of us). So this week we wanted to talk about the specific ways in which women are tied to today’s economy, from financial instability to pregnancy. Check it out and let us know what you think!
