Celebrating women's achievements with official photos while half of women lack stable employment and violence persists is institutional hypocrisy. Symbolism is prioritized over real results. Laws are not enough without investment in public daycare centers, equal parental leave, and taxation that penalizes the gender pay gap. The solution is to link any commemoration to concrete indicators, such as the employment rate or reduction in femicides, with binding budgets and fixed deadlines.
The equality algorithm: hard data vs. political makeup 📊
Technological development allows measuring the gender pay gap in real time through aggregate payroll analysis and artificial intelligence systems that detect biases in hiring. However, this data is ignored in favor of visual campaigns. A public dashboard with indicators such as the percentage of women in management positions or the femicide rate per quarter would force governments to be accountable. Technology is not lacking; what is lacking is the will to implement binding metrics that replace group photos.
Daycares yes, selfies no: the manual of good feminist posturing 🧸
I propose a new official protocol: every time a politician publishes a commemorative photo, they must attach a link to the current female employment rate and a receipt for investment in daycare centers. If the rate drops, the photo is replaced by a sad cat meme. It would be more honest than the current theater of smiles and purple scarves. After all, an algorithm does not lie, but a speech with a violin soundtrack does.
