RE: Does Steemit Do The Most to Support Gender Equality?
I think Steemit has done a great job at creating a very equal platform. You have very flexible options, almost no real rules, and pretty much the least-limited platform I have ever seen!
Great job to the creators. Well done guys.
Now, let's look at the facts. If majority of the whales on this platform are men, then you cannot blame gender inequality, in terms of rewards. I have seen many times where woman are making easily over $100+ on their first few posts.
Then again, yes you can say that the content is decent quality, and well-put together, but you cannot deny the natural desires of a male LOL! If a woman is beautiful, the post will undoubtedly get more rewards. That's just the way it is. However, we cannot blame Steemit for this, it's simply the men in here haha! I won't deny that if I am browsing through a whole bunch of posts, I will most probably click on the thumbnail with a beaitiful woman in, than most of the others.
A good example of this is @Sweetsssj. Yes, of course she's very popular here, and has a huge following like @JerryBanfield.. But besides that, if you scroll down to even her first ever few posts, she still made hundreds of dollars!
Anyways, that's just my opinion :P Talk soon.
Agreed, I think Steemit promotes gender equality but this means that social media platforms simply need to have no restrictions (or obviously equal restrictions no matter the gender) to be categorized as such... seems pretty simple to me. (Not the gender equality issue, that has infinite complexities beyond the scope of our comments or this post of course, but it seems way platforms can be gender equal through a simple policy not to pose any (or equal) restrictions on everyone.
True gender "equality" will always mean things are "unequal". Men and women have different priorities and interests.
mmm good point, true
...And hence the self-inflicted ‘gender pay gap.’
Exactly :P
Yeah, exactly. So many companies and products out there are created so much more differently to the way most people's logic is.. I have seen this countless times. That is why I admire Steemit, because it's just so in sync with what people want. That's why I see this as the best platform out there, and will shoot to the top.
Intriguing how you wrote "it's just so in sync with what people want" - do you mean because of the payout concept or something else? If you have a lot to say on the topic, I'd encourage you to write a post :) And I'll hopefully be reading it since I just followed you.
I basically mean everything that people's interests are usually attracted to. So, yes it includes the payouts. Facebook doesn't pay you to post.. But I'm sure many people would like it! There is just so much more flexibility here. I mean besides the fact that there are so little on this platform, what about the fact that we can use HTML.. It's amazing the potential we have as authors/creators.
Thanks for the follow. I actually probably will make a post of it now that you requested :) I just made my latest post a few minutes ago, so I'll might make it tomorrow.
Nice nice! I'll be on the look for it.
You're right, with the HTML / markup there's way more fancy shmancy customization potential ...something I need to start looking into myself :)
Yeah, luckily it's just basic stuff. When I joined 30 days ago, I had absolutely no idea about coding or how to do it.. Just a simple read up, and a few hours later you can literally learn everything you need to know off by heart. Easy Peazy :P
Zane I love what you shared here because in my next post I will hope to show that Steemit is an awesome opportunity for women of all demographics with case studies to back my conclusions!
Well that won't be too hard. Simple.. 'Ladies, get your cameras, get your bikinis, and start snapping for them whales' :P
Haha but on a serious note, that's a great idea actually. Will be a very informative post.
Today's actually my milestone day @JerryBanfield! Made my latest post about my first 30 days here, doing over 3000+ posts :)
Exciting times. I look forward to connecting with you in the future.
