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 and 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% 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
