When certain Westerners, mainly Americans, insist that feminism is no longer necessary

I want them to look at the Top 10 most gender equal countries in the world based on the global gender gap index

Unless you’re from:

Iceland, Norway, Finland,  Rwanda, Sweden, Nicaragua, Slovenia, Ireland,  New Zealand, or the Philippines 

You won’t be on that list.

And even then, not a single one of these countries have reached the 0 score that means the country has no gap between opportunity between female citizens and male in areas of politics, medical care, education, and economic power.

I want Americans in particular to find where they are on that list and wonder how they rank so much lower than countries like Rwanda, Nicaragua, the Philippines, South Africa, etc.

America, spoiler alert: as of 2017, you rank 49th in gender equality.

So in case you’re wondering just how much feminism you need to have measurable gender equality, you need to do better than 48 other countries :))
