Tullius est [et Tullius non est Cicero]: The Gender Gap

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')

The Gender Gap

The Gender Gap. This is surely one of the most under reported social justice stories in the news this year. Did you know that in the U.S., for every 3 men only 1 woman gets around on a bicycle? Did you know that in London 77% of bike trips are taken by men but only 5% by women? (Strange stat, I know, but a strange stat for even stranger times).

Well here is a courageous journalist cataloging 21 photos of real women who shatter the stereotype of a what a bicyclist looks like.

These brave, brave women...modern day Rosa Parks, that's what they are. I'm about to grab a friend and start singing "We Shall Overcome."
