    Women Now Drink As Much As Men

    For nearly a century, women have been closing the gender gap in alcohol consumption, binge-drinking and alcohol use disorder. What was previously a 3-1 ratio for risky drinking habits in men versus women is closer to 1-to-1 globally, a 2016 analysis of several dozen studies suggested.

    And the latest U.S. data from 2019 shows that women in their teens and early 20s reported drinking and getting drunk at higher rates than their male peers — in some cases for the first time since researchers began measuring such behavior.

    I blame Queen’s Gambit for glamorizing women drinking.

    They are drinking more because they realized what they've been fighting for all this time

    They won the right to;

    1. Work, hah.
    2. Work while pregnant, even worse.
    2. The right to take the pill and get abortions, whoa.
    3. The right to a credit card, lol.
    4, Get a Divorce, meh.
    5, Less Sexual Harassment, ok.
    6. Complain about pay descrimination. Hasn't worked out.
    7, Marry Lesbians
    8. To Vote, great, but what has that gotten them.

    All I'm saying is if you are going to fight for access to something, think you need to know what outcomes really lead to happiness. Yes, you are working, but why, work is a dated concept. It all led to drinking. How about fighting for

    1. Less work, more vacation
    2. Free Daycare
    3. Free Cleaning Service
    4. Free Healthcare
    5. Reparations
    6. A matriarchy
    7. Investments for Women
    8. Free Education
    9. Men that Listen
    10. More stuff for Women

    I don't mind the fight, but ask for outcomes that give you what people really want. More Happiness.

    Your points make it seem like it's either/or when I believe the goal for equal rights is inclusion of the things you chose to divide for the sake of an argument no one is making.

    To be fair I don't think a matriarchy would be equal or that free cleaning services is part of the feminist movement, at least those that are taken seriously. But the general theme of improved quality of life for women under an equal environment certainly is.

    Once upon a time . .. . the concept of equal rights
    felt like making men more like women . . .accountable .. . moral . .. better people
    but
    in the end . . .it was about allowing women to be just as shitty as men were/are

    A New Study Says Doing Chores Like Washing Dishes and Gardening Can Decrease Heart Disease Risks Among Women

    Completing everyday tasks, like your household chores, can seem mundane, but the reality is that these seemingly simple activities can actually boost your overall health. In fact, a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association featured insight from researchers out of the University of California-San Diego that detailed how chores like cooking, vacuuming, gardening, and even other daily necessities like taking a shower can protect against heart disease. "The study demonstrates that all movement counts towards disease prevention," Dr. Steve Nguyen, the study's first author, said in a media release. "Spending more time in daily life movement, which includes a wide range of activities we all do while on our feet and out of our chairs, resulted in a lower risk of cardiovascular disease."

    The study found that participants who spent four hours each day completing "daily life movements" had 62 percent less of a chance of dying from cardiovascular or coronary heart disease. Plus, those in the study had 43 percent less of a chance of developing of developing either disease altogether and 30 percent less of a chance of experiencing a stroke. The team studied 5,416 healthy women across the United States between 63 and 97 years of age and put each minute they spent awake under one of five categories: sitting, sitting in a vehicle, standing still, walking or running, and daily life movements. The latter included activities such as getting dressed, cooking, and gardening.
