This pandemic has reinforced patriarchy:
decision makers on pandemic response mostly men in most countries
media reporting/trusting male experts much more than female
domestic abuse skyrocketing during lockdown
women having to work from home & do childcare at same time

Several people commenting on this are asking for âevidenceâ on points 2 & 4. Well having the resources to generate evidence on these is part of the problem. So many things are prioritised over it during this pandemic. However pls feel free to share your anecdotes in the meantime.
Also when I point out patriarchy Iâm glaringly obviously not saying âall men are badâ!!
I really feel I shouldnât even be having to say this - kinda like those having to point out that drinking bleach is not a good idea.. but thatâs the world we live in today, hey?

OK just to super clarify: thereâs clear & strong âevidenceâ for all of these before the pandemic. The demands as I understood were abt âevidenceâ from the time of pandemic. That evidence (from research) will inevitably come but doubt it will be commissioned or properly resourced.
