We are equal as long as we work hard just like men even better..however some people just look at us as an object..power to the women 👏

Ask these women what they think of men's rights and MGTOW. The same women who say they only want fair and equal treatment are disdainful of men who want the same thing.

The UN DP's Gender Development Index shows Israel as ranking higher than Italy, Spain, and France! We rank at #22, for context, our most moderate, modernized neighbor Jordan is ranked at #102. Don't even ask the ranking for Palestinian territories.

Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories. However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO), and Government, and everyone these days.

The next question should be to Israelis: What is your opinion about the annexation plan (july 1st)

After this video, there's a long anti-Israel ad. I'm puzzled that a Jew who lives in Israel would choose to allow such advertising on their channel.

The term feminism is too vague to ask people if they agree with it. Basically, this question can be broken down into 1000 smaller questions that would have much more interesting responses.
Like instead of asking "are you a feminist", you can ask "do you think men and women should receive equal pay for equal work". And even if someone agrees with that premise, they might not support legislation compelling it. So are they still a "feminist" then? The term is too vague.

Feminism stopped being about equality looong time ago, specifically around and after the 2nd wave of feminism during the 1960’s and 70’s ... 1990’s and after, the only thing feminism focused on is women’s superiority over men which is brushed with word “equality “ ... what feminism now represents is being “ free “, pay-gap ( which is bullshit, and even women themselves know that ) and being a lesbian. Most of societies now are pro-feminism ( at least in the recent modern history), and even most men too including myself are feminists ( only when that means that feminism equals equality).

Judaism has some problems but woman who wants to complain about Judaism, please name a religion where women have it better?

Feminism: is a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that aim to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes.
As a Young woman from Tel Aviv kinda disappointed by these answeres but not that surprised. I believe we need feminism in order to advocate for woman rights. Which have certainly advanced incredibly in the past years but still have a long way to go especially in Israel. I feel sexsim every day. At work, with friends, when expressing my opinion, when sitting in a bar, walking down the street, in school (when I was in school). I don't think the problem here is really legal rights, those are kinda okay in comparison to a lot of other countries (but still need some work in terms of sexual assault). But I think that there is a very very primitive general view of women, which is at time very subtle and at time very hostile. I even catch myself sometimes taking part in the same mindset. That's why we need feminism, to be aware of this and help women who are being discriminated against in the counties systems and it's society in general.
I see many women distancing themselves from the term 'feminist' in fear of being judged as some radicallist who thinks women are superior to men (and who are these people by the way? I hear so much about them but still haven't met anyone who actually believes that), which saddens me, because to me that's the exact opposite of what feminism is about.
Much love for the work you do Cory.
