And we would even give you reasons why. As with the roles in movies. If women are 50% of humanity, 33% of the roles is not enough. Equality would be 50%. So let me ask you, why do you think that we should say it is enough when we are still far from 50% and equality? We would say it when there is equality.

It is like wanting to reach a destination. If you want to reach new york but stop 100 km before reaching it, and the people say "but we aren't in NY" and you complain because you have already traveled enough. You have done a lot of km, why it is not enough? Well, you aren't in NY yet.

Also, it would be easier to reach equality if there wasn't people creating obstacles in the name of "not hurting men's feelings". The thing is that, some people are already on their way to fix it themselves, but some people, many of them men, don't want it to be fixed. They want to stop 100 km short from the goal because for them, that is "good enough".

And that is now, not 10000 ago.
