This really has absolutely nothing to do with equality. Two completely different scenarios that have nothing to do with each other and can't even be compared. There are tons of pledges in which men have made more than women so what is the point here?
I don't even know the reason people are giving that bitch money, but it's got 0 to do with the fact that this guy just went unnoticed. I've never heard of his case or maybe I would've backed the project.
tldr; Females ARE still oppressed to some degree in this male dominated society.
