In Gill's fairy tales, everyone is their own fairy godmother: Sleeping Beauty is wide awake, and Cinderella's mother begs her daughter to stand up to her abusers. Gill wants Tinkerbell to be allowed to be angry and Hercules to be able to cry. The moral is always the same: you must be true to yourself. “By taking back these stories and rewriting them for a post-#MeToo generation of young people, we are teaching them to respect themselves and take responsibility for their own choices and decisions,” Gill said.

The video game streaming service Twitch announced on Friday three new leadership hires. And with the addition of three new female executives, Twitch's team of C-level executives has just become majority women. Now, four out of seven of Twitch's chief executives are female — which is not something you see every day in the tech industry.

Women's Equality Day, celebrated annually on August 26, marks the date the Constitution was amended to include women's right to vote. "Women's Equality Day reminds all Americans of their power as citizens to create their own unrelenting, brilliant, courageous, political campaign to ensure equal opportunity for all," says Molly Murphy MacGregor, the executive director and co-founder of Women's National History Museum.

Women are criticised every day for the way they speak. And since terms like upspeak and vocal fry first entered the popular lexicon a few years ago, it's only gotten worse. The buzzwords — which once described non-gender-specific speech patterns — have become yet another weapon used to silence women who dare to voice opinions.

“A lot of girls want to be actresses or models,” related Green Girls participant N’Kaylah Simmons. "And sometimes I think, do they actually want to be these things? Or is it because it’s the only thing they see?” Because the majority of students in Green Girls are women of color, administrators make a point to hire female professionals who look like them to talk about how they navigate multiple stereotypes.

Six year old Dana Fischer admits that it's "hard" to sit down across the table from a full-grown adult player, but it's also "fun at the same time." Her trick to getting out of her head and into the game? "I just grow up and be myself and play," she said. Dana's near-miss with Day 2 at GP Las Vegas gave her a new idea: "My goal is to be the youngest player ever to make Day 2 of a Grand Prix."

These men sell billions of dollars in movie tickets, play on one of the best basketball teams in the world, and make winning gold medals seem easy. They look like paragons of masculinity. They also wrestle with anxiety and depression. Famous men like Johnson, Reynolds, Phelps, and Love, and their peers, however, are proving it's possible to candidly name their mental health experiences and defeat the stigma that keeps so many men silent.

"The Feminist Letters gives activists a way to send a message in a font that really sends a message. There are so many organizations advocating for gender equality, and The Feminist Letters offers a shared language that encompasses all of these issues."

Internet-based businesses now contribute up to 3.3% of Senegal’s GDP, the highest of any country in Africa, according to a 2013 McKinsey study. This digital transformation could boost the fortunes of female entrepreneurs across the country — if they can access it. Because despite being billed as “Africa’s Silicon Valley,” only 35% of IT jobs in Senegal are held by women. “The sector is in full boom,” says Dia. “But women aren’t privileged with access to technology — that remains a masculine domain.”

A spokesperson for the BBC said the conversation was "an ill-advised off-air conversation which the presenter regrets." A BBC source revealed to The Guardian, however, that the corporation's management are "deeply unimpressed" by the conversation.

The crux of our differences seems to lie in what we consider constitutes sexual harassment. Recent research conducted by YouGov found that older British women viewed certain behaviours as acceptable, while younger women deemed them inappropriate. Wolf-whistling proved to be the most divisive behaviour, with 74 percent of 18-24 year olds, and 59 percent of 25-39 year olds considering it inappropriate. But, four in 10 women over 55 say wolf-whistling is acceptable, and 27 percent even said it was flattering. Among the other behaviours—including winking, comments on attractiveness, and lower-back touching—older women were more likely to say they didn't have any strong feelings about those behaviours, while younger women were likelier to find them inappropriate.
