Employees say there’s a six percent wage gap between the salaries of men and women who responded to the survey.

Gender-based terrorism — attacks meant to instill widespread fear, not just kill individuals — has a history beyond recent events like the attack in Toronto that resulted in the deaths of 10 people. Canada’s most deadly modern mass shooting, the 1989 massacre at Montreal’s École Polytechnique, was aimed at keeping women away from science and engineering work.

Company leadership acknowledged the allegations of sexism and dysfunctional workplace practices and behaviors in the past, apologized, and pledged to thoroughly reinvent its culture and institute new policies and tools to combat abuse. “We’re sorry. We’re sorry that Riot hasn’t always been—or wasn’t—the place we promised you,” the company said.

No one wants flipped remakes to take the place of incisive, original stories about marginalized groups.

“In the last year of Rosalind’s life, I remember visiting her in hospital on the day when she was excited by the news of the [Soviet Sputnik satellite].” Franklin’s sister, Jenifer Glynn, said. ”She could never have imagined that over 60 years later there would be a rover sent to Mars bearing her name, but somehow that makes this project even more special.”

In tests led by MIT, the program made no mistakes when identifying the gender of lighter-skinned men, but it mistook women for men 19 percent of the time and mistook darker-skinned women for men 31 percent of the time.

The Eternals, a tale of cosmic beings created by Jack Kirby in the 1970s, now has a director: Chinese filmmaker Chloé Zhao. It will mark the first time that a woman of color has directed a film for the superhero studio, which has largely relied on white men to helm its films.

Often considered a “pink-collar industry,” social media’s female-dominated workforce has naturally extended to the traditionally male-dominated sports industry, too. Women are not only excelling in these roles, but as the online voices of sports teams, they’re finding themselves insulated from the kind of harassment and abuse that plagues many of the more visible women in the sports industry (and outside of it).

I think it’s easy to feel locked into the way things are, but the more you get into the material and the messiness of the real lived experience of all these people, the more you realize that if things had unfolded even slightly differently, we could be living in a totally different world.

A 2013 analysis found that half of female STEM professionals leave the field within 12 years, compared with less than 20 percent of women in other professional fields.
