opinionPortland, USA — Why aren't more women angry about their subordination, discrimination, and unequal treatment in the 21st century? And more recently, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. In contrast, the population sex ratios are 100 in Africa and Oceania, about 97 in Northern America and Latin America and the Caribbean, and 93 in Europe (Figure 2). Worldwide women earn about 24 percent less than men, with 700 million fewer women than men in paid employment. With women continuing to lag behind men in rights, freedoms, and equality, the puzzling question that remains is: why aren't more women angry?
