It’s Women’s History Month in the United States. What better way to celebrate than to tell the cold, hard truth? There is a “reality gap” between what we believe and what we experience. Almost half of her Gen Z surveyed (46%) believe gender equality is improving, but the rest of the data is a different story.
Centered around the current state of equality in dating, relationships, careers, the economy and more, the report found that 87% of respondents agreed that relationships that share power equality lead to better sex. I understand. However, 40% overall and 47% of his Gen Z say, “Relationships work best when men take the lead.”
Fifty-four percent said they were okay with starting a conversation with someone they were interested in, but only 11% said women should move first on dating apps.

While our survey respondents seem idealistic about gender equality, we know they have a long way to go.91% of respondents agree with the definition of gender equality. “Men and women are equal and should be given equal opportunity in all things.” 91% of her, the same number surveyed, said that improving women’s rights would make the world a better place for all. I think it could be a better place. Still, 79% of respondents (including her 84% of women surveyed) said women have to compromise between careers, relationships and families, while men don’t.
Those surveyed also acknowledged economic inequality and its impact on women, with 80% saying lack of financial independence was the main reason women remained in unhappy relationships. 65% say the social system makes women economically dependent on men.

When it comes to career equality, 81% of women respondents said that inequality in parenting roles leads to inequality in career outcomes. Only 71% of her surveyed men agreed. However, more men than women, 58% and 54%, respectively, said taking maternity leave hurts women’s career prospects. Overall, 76% of respondents (83% of women and 69% of men) say their mothers feel guilty for spending more time advancing their careers than their fathers. .
It’s clear that there is a lot to be done regarding gender equality this Women’s History Month. Let’s hope the reality gap closes next year.
