It is truly fucked up how little we (but mostly the religious & conservative Right) care about women.

"""
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women—more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined (and it's only a misdemeanor in a lot of places)
"""
pregnant and postpartum people in states with abortion restrictions had a 75 percent higher rate of homicide than those in states that protected abortion access
...
there was a 98 percent increase in reports of reproductive coercion the year after Dobbs
...
the reality is, coerced abortions are overall quite rare, and it’s far more common for abusers to forcibly get someone pregnant and keep someone pregnant as a way to keep them under their control
"""
In 2022, American women typically earned 82 cents for every dollar earned by men (and had shitty parental leave, and held fewer executive positions)
"""
78.2% of all sexual harassment charges in the workplace are filed by women.
"""

So women have fewer rights than men, are mostly victimized by men, get worse compensation than men, and have to put up with more hostile work environments than men.

Aaand I'll wrap up my rant here for now.

Also, trans women are women—so this same BS applies on top of all the BS they get for being trans.

Sorry for the US bias—it's what I'm most familiar with and many of the English studies are from here.
