so often when I talk about these issues
I come up against this argument sexism
doesn't really exist anymore in the UK
look elsewhere look at other countries
around the world there is this real
sense women here are making a fuss about
things that aren't real problems and I
think that we have to sometimes stop and
reflect on the fact that actually we are
still living in a country where fewer
than a third of our elected MPs are
women only about a fifth of the
membership of the House of Lords
anywhere there are decisions being made
that impact on our lives on a daily
basis they're being made by usually
older white men in terms of the way that
the world is framed for us their news
that we consume on a daily basis the
front pages that shape the way that we
react to what's going on just over a
fifth of them are written by women and
84 percent of them are about a male
subject or expert so in ways that we
don't even realize these things are
trickling down there is so much that's
baked into our society around us and
it's all about seeing those normalized
things that we've been told for such a
long time you just have to put up with
this it's just the way things are well
it's not anymore and it's time to say
enough is enough
