Edge is in inputs
The edge is in the inputs.
The person who consumes from better sources, gets better thoughts. The person who asks better questions, gets better answers. The person who builds better habits, gets better results.
It's not the outcomes. It's the inputs.

Notes on feminism
Women continue to bear the brunt of our society's failure to support families.
--
Younger women often don't credit feminism for the opportunities they can take for granted. Some don't realize, for example, that the wage gap, while persistent, has shrunk considerably, that there wasn't always such a thing as professional women's sports, or even that girls weren't always allowed to wear pants to school.
Feminism is not a done deal. It's dynamic. It relies on every generation to take the work forward.
Unlike feminism, capitalism has never worried itself over the care of children, or the equality of women.
Women and men see the world from profoundly different perspectives — thank goodness — and this is why we seek each other out and enjoy lifetimes together. There is no arena where these differences are more profound than in the rearing of children. Propagating the politically correct and dystopian view that women and men are interchangeable in the homes defies the obvious differences that natural selection has evolved.
In the modern world neither of the sexes is "better" than the other, and we all deserve fair and equal treatment in the workplace, but denying the natural inclinations that women bring to child-rearing versus men is a bridge too far, way too far.
Feminism is not a war between the sexes. When a male is a feminist, it does not mean he thinks women are the dominant sex. It just means he advocates for equality, which is something I hope everyone would want.
The path to gender equality isn't linear.
Care work is a serious issue.
Meal prep and cooking. Collecting water. Caring for the kids. The amount of time spent on chores and caring for others might not always seem like a lot, nor like a particularly crucial part of the struggle for gender equality. But eventually, it adds up — especially for women and girls who live in poverty or are from marginalized groups.
This phenomenon is known as unpaid care work and it's crucial for households and economies to function. Estimates show that 16.4 billion hours are spent on unpaid care work every day. The International Labor Organization found that if care work was valued the same as other work, it would represent a tenth of the world's economic output. Some governments depend on unpaid work to compensate for public services. Yet it's largely undervalued and largely unpaid.
In October 2022, mothers — including Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and British broadcast personality Kate Quilton — flooded the streets of the UK for the March of the Mummies: a protest organized by Pregnant Then Screwed which called for reforms to the childcare sector in the UK.
Unpaid care is a barrier to women having full access to their human rights, particularly for women living in poverty — and it must be treated as a serious issue.
7. Silence speaks volumes.
Although there were 13 feminist protests around the world this year, that doesn't mean that women aren't fighting for their rights in places where there were no protests. In fact, sometimes protest can look very different from people gathered with placards on a street shouting slogans. Protest might look very different in a war-torn country.
The war in Tigray, Ethiopia, for example, has been defined by extreme violence against women and girls, with UN experts warning that rape has appeared "to have been used as part of a deliberate strategy to terrorize, degrade, and humiliate the victims and the ethnic minority group that they belong to, with the acquiescence of the state and non-state actors parties to the conflict."
The waves of feminism
The first wave's main goal was trying to cement that women deserve the right to vote and other basic rights. This idea was the first of its kind and extremely radical for the time. Women were starting to make their voices heard and thus began the women's suffrage movement. They recognized the injustices in their society and decided to speak up and make a change. Their bravery sparked a movement that is still alive today.
In the second wave, the focus switched from ensuring women have basic rights to fighting for liberation. Women had received the right to vote, but that was not enough for them and they began to call out the other injustices they noticed in the world. The success in the women's suffrage movement was inspirational for those in the second wave of feminism and pushed them to continue their fight. The new platforms the movement took on contained equal treatment in the workforce, reproductive rights and the fight against the objectification of women. The continuation of previous fights and the introduction of new platforms is a defining trait of the feminist movement that has continues to this day.
The third wave started in the 1990s and it consists of movements such as the #MeToo movement and has a heavy emphasis on reproductive rights and the inclusivity of all identities.
Today the feminist movement is as strong as ever but somewhere in these waves the meaning of the word "feminist" got clouded by the stereotypes that have been built up over the duration of the movement. Feminists have been placed in a box and faced with a negative connotation, completely discounting an entire demographic of the movement. These stereotypes were created by those who were threatened by women's realization of their worth and what they deserve.
It was not until the late 90s that women began to lose this image of a stereotypical feminist and start to recognize the various multidimensional women behind the movement. Feminism became intersectional and took on fighting for the rights of many groups of people.
The movement today thrives on its inclusivity of every demographic. Feminism has become intersectional, taking on the fight for not only women but also other identities who are underrepresented today. Throughout the early 2000s, a realization has been made that throughout history there is too much emphasis on straight, white women in the movement and that intersectionality is crucial in ensuring that injustices are fixed.
Those in this movement today are fearlessly fighting for equality and are being led by those before them who have boldly paved the way.

DATA :
Women perform 76.2 per cent of the total amount of unpaid care work, 3.2 times more time than men Unpaid care work makes a substantial contribution to countries' economies, as well as to individual and societal well-being. Unpaid carers meet the vast majority of care needs across the world. However, their unpaid care work remains mostly invisible, unrecognized and unaccounted for in decision-making. Estimates based on time-use survey data in 64 countries (representing 66.9 per cent of the world's working-age population) show that 16.4 billion hours are spent in unpaid care work every day. This is equivalent to 2.0 billion people working 8 hours per day with no remuneration. Were such services to be valued on the basis of an hourly minimum wage, they would amount to 9 per cent of global GDP, which corresponds to US$11 trillion (purchasing power parity 2011). The great majority of unpaid care work consists of household work (81.8 per cent), followed by direct personal care (13.0 per cent) and volunteer work (5.2 per cent). Across the world, without exception, women perform three-quarters of unpaid care work, or 76.2 per cent of the total of hours provided. In no country in the world do men and women provide an equal share of unpaid care work. Women dedicate on average 3.2 times more time than men to unpaid care work: 4 hours and 25 minutes per day, against 1 hour and 23 minutes for men. Over the course of a year, this represents a total of 201 working days (on an eight-hour basis) for women compared with 63 working days for men. Women spend more time in unpaid care work than men in every region, ranging from 1.7 times more in the Americas to 4.7 times in the Arab States. Globally, unpaid care work is most intensive for girls and women living in middle-income countries, those married and of adult age, with lower educational achievement, resident in rural areas, and with children under school age. Women's paid work does not on its own automatically transform the gendered division of unpaid labour. Across regions and income groups, when both work for pay or profit and unpaid care work are accounted together, the working day is on average longer for women (7 hours and 28 minutes) than it is for men (6 hours and 44 minutes), despite significant country differences (see figure 2). This makes women consistently time poorer than men, even after adjusting for hours of employment. In addition, excessive and strenuous amounts of unpaid care work can result in sub-optimal care strategies, with detrimental consequences for care recipients such as infants, children, persons with disabilities and older persons, as well as for the unpaid carers themselves.
In 2018, 606 million women of working age have declared themselves to be unavailable for employment or not seeking a job due to unpaid care work, while only 41 million men are inactive for the same reason.
what can be termed a "motherhood employment penalty", which is found globally and consistently across regions for women living with young children. In 2018, mothers of children aged 0–5 years account for the lowest employment rates (47.6 per cent) compared not only with fathers (87.9 per cent) and non-fathers (78.2 per cent), but also with non-mothers of young children (54.4 per cent). This pattern contrasts with a "fatherhood employment premium", with fathers of young children reporting the highest employment-to-population ratios throughout the world and across all regions compared not only with non-fathers, but also with both non-mothers and mothers (see figure 4).
"parenthood employment gap"
Unpaid care work is one of the main obstacles to women moving into better quality jobs, affecting the number of hours spent by women in work for pay or profit, their status in employment and working conditions. Adult women in employment with family responsibilities are more likely to work shorter hours for pay or profit than adult men and non-mothers.
