As long as nobody locks me up in a pregnant body, I might be okay?

"The corporate world loves to showcase glossy ads with female CEOs, often from privileged backgrounds, as evidence of 'progress'. But this optics-driven approach risks reducing feminism to a diversity statistic, detached from the lived realities of most women. Same and equal shallow optics is to place women into high-ranking positions but demand they conform to the same patriarchal, profit-at-all-costs models that marginalized them in the first place. The message this sends is clear: representation without transformation is performative."

"We celebrate when women 'break the glass ceiling' but we hardly ever stop to ask: what happens when they are asked to sweep up the shards themselves?"
