Pink Tax, Wage Gap, Gender Discrimination: Stories of Being a Woman in America | The Daily Show

“No one should be punished for having children. The children are punishment enough.” Trever Noah 😂🤣😅

I’m in the corporate world and just the sexism alone would drive you to drink.

Back when I was single, younger (25) and using my architecture degree, I charged a man for a job he asked me to do (drawings, rendering) and he asked me verbatim, "you're a woman, what do you need so much money for?" Yeah, I'm a woman who doesn't need to pay rent, transport herself to work, pay my utility bills,eat and wear clothes. At the end of the work day, I dissolve into thin air and reappear the next day I guess. The sexism, misogyny was real (still is) in career fields in Nigeria.

Never was told how much being asked, accosted, and harassed for a snack was apart of motherhood.

As a black woman working in the 80's in a 90% white male dominated environment the adjusting was challenging! First because I was Black and second because I was a woman!

The US seems to be totally out of the game compared to all the other developed nations: no maternity leave, worst maternal and child mortality, unaffordable childcare. Spending on women and their children's health and well being is not money spent, it's money invested in the nation's future.

Since I got disabled 17 years ago it was my wife who had to stay working while I stayed home raising our son (And doing occasional odd jobs to help make ends meet.) and let me tell you, Desi and the gals were not acting or even joking at all! Like I said in the beginning I got disabled yet I am staying at home raising my kid and it is pretty much like a job but without the paycheck and the steady hour shifts I had before, you are on call 24/7 too! When moms are crying out for help at this point they are not being lazy it's because they have endured too much and are up to their necks with work from both the job and the family at home.

"Aiden and McKenzie with their Mandarin tutor" lol Dulce

And then add the fact that we have tiny or no pockets... makes a purse a necessity rather than an option

That was absolutely perfectly done and showed our lives in a nutshell.
