Your philosophical approach is fascinating. How do different gender frameworks affect real-life women’s empowerment? Are there stories or case studies you think the general public should hear to deepen understanding?

What springs to mind in answer to your question is the book "Borderlands/La Frontera" by Gloria Anzaldúa. In it, she deals with frameworks of gender and ethnicity and how individuals can empower themselves in the borders that society erects between people. I referenced two books in my article that are very good for understanding gender frameworks.

On a more personal perspective, this woman's short essay is good: https://medium.com/readers-club/gender-equality-isnt-what-you-think-here-s-why-we-re-still-getting-it-wrong-05b802b90f88?sk=v2%2F0aee7e56-02a4-4ba9-8a70-61729f94f0c6
