Recently, I noticed something pretty interesting—whether it’s ads on the street or online, like 80% of them feature female spokesmodels. Back when I went to a job fair, 90% of the HR reps were women, and even the company intro videos they played mostly showed female employees. Barely any guys in sight. Got me thinking—since when did male-dominated industries like engineering become so female-heavy? In Europe, especially in Spain, people really emphasize gender equality. Kids learn about it from elementary school, and I personally think it’s the right mindset. We’re all human, with the same capabilities—so why should there be differences like unequal pay? Because of these issues, Spain’s been pushing more gender-equality policies in recent years, especially in tech hiring. After class the other day, I was chatting with a female classmate about it, and she said: "Honestly, I think some of these policies are going overboard. I’ve had opportunities thanks to these changes, but they’re so extreme that sometimes it feels like I got hired just because I’m a woman, not because of my skills." Hearing that made me wonder—is the real goal of feminism still about protecting women’s rights? Or is it turning women into some kind of "disadvantaged group" that needs special treatment? Wouldn’t that just backfire, basically admitting women are weaker than men?
