It is HARD to celebrate the #InternationalWomensDay as an academician and supervisor (let alone as a woman)

Today is also my mom Nimet Altunbas' birthday. She endured a lot for her kids' safety, wellbeing, and education in a broken family.

Folks, I do no care whether we have had many gains over the centuries, but gender parity is not anywhere to be found

Hence today and everyday, let's focus on not celebrating but removing gender disparity from our lives.

Childcare issue is one of the hundreds of life areas where women and girls are disproportionally loaded with extra work & responsibility without equal conditions and rights.

Most folks I knew were without extended family and social circles, making it extra hard.

In contrast, I have never heard or seen a man having difficulty with child care.

I do not know how many times I have seen students and assistants with kids overwhelmed trying to balance their studies/work and child care, sad, late, ashamed, and what else.

9/13 The gender angle reveals corporate priorities.

Air Canada negotiated in good faith with male-dominated pilots (42% raise over 4 years). But with female-dominated flight attendants? Straight to government intervention to avoid bargaining.

I recently coached someone giving a talk on #genderdisparity in emergency medicine. We covered cog dissonance & shame resilience in the audience, calls to action like self-awareness, 'flip it to test it,' the 'gender expert' starter pack 🦋. What else should she have added? #MedEdSky #WomeninMedicine
