A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

isn't Iceland the most gender equal and progressive country?

And apparently this is why. Good for these women for standing up for what they deserve. I hope others around the world will see this.

It is but gender inequality is still endemic across society. Put this way, I'd rather be a woman in Iceland than say Afghanistan, but I'd still rather be a man in every single country.
