It is not uncommon to come across a study that goes into how women are being held back in a certain area of life. When a feminist hears about something like this, she can believe that this is yet another example of how women are being oppressed.
However, even if a man was to see this or a woman who isn't a feminist, they could still come to the same conclusion. There are at least two reasons as to why this would take place.
Attention
One thing that the mainstream media understands is that in order to make people believe something, the only thing that they need to do is to gain their attention. Through achieving this outcome, someone can accept what they are being sold.
There is then no need for them to prove that what they are saying is the truth, and this is why repetition is the key. So, through putting these kinds of studies in the public eye, the midstream media can define what people believe about women.
The Dominant Narrative
Along with monopolising people's attention, these studies also play into the current cultural story about how women suffer and men have it easy. Based on this, someone doesn't need to be a hardcore feminist to believe this.
The only thing that is necessary is for them to live in the western world and to go along with what the mainstream media comes out with. Additionally, their time in the education system may have also caused them to see life in this way.
Identity Politics
No matter whether it relates to the education system, the media, or the entertainment industry, the same outlook is often found. The majority of people who are found in these industries are often left leaning.
And if someone isn't on board with this, they often feel the need to keep their mouth closed for fear of losing their job or being smeared. This is why it has been said that the left is only concerned with diversity of appearance, not diversity of opinion.
