Welcome: About Us

Hi there!

      Welcome to Madison and Cassie's blog on gender equality. This blog has been made for a high school english assignment.

      Here, we post claims and opinions on gender equality, and give different sources about campaigns, information, etc. Different sources will be linked on the side of the page. Right now the "Heforshe" campaign is linked on the side of the page. We will try our best to support our posts and claims with evidence, sources of information, and even quotations. Sources of multimedia information used may include videos, speeches, papers, statistics, campaigns, or articles on the subject of gender equality.

      This blog is made solely for the purpose of equality for ALL genders. We don't mean to discriminate men or women in any way, though some posts may be focused on the viewpoints of women. This is because in society, women aren't seen as equal to men in many situations, and a lot of misogyny (the hatred of women)* takes place. But, a lot of misandry (the hatred of men)** takes place quite often as well. We hope to address these issues and provide information on those topics.

      We hope that you enjoy our blog, and that we successfully confront both the issues of misogyny and misandry, and gender inequality as a whole. Hopefully we can promote gender equality as well.
Feel free to comment!!!
Thanks!
