It's one thing to talk about closing the gender-based wage gap. But now Iceland has taken steps toward becoming the first country to make employers prove they pay their employees equally.

There's no question that, in many areas, the lives of women have improved worldwide as more and more women in more and more countries force gender equality to the forefront of the national discussion. However, there's also no question that "improvement" depends on the sector at which you're looking, and what you consider positive, feminist change.

After writing about Tomi Lahren back in December, I silently promised myself that I would never write about her again. I didn't want to give her any more of a platform than she already has. However, now that Trump has become President, I believe that examining the Tomi Lahrens of the world is especially important in that it allows us to navigate our increasingly fraught path toward gender equality.

Gavin Polone is a successful Hollywood film and television producer whose credits include television shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Gilmore Girls, and films like Panic Room and Zombieland. After over 30 years in the industry, he clearly knows a lot about creating content people will watch. You know what he doesn't know a lot about? How systemic sexism works.

The "trans women have experienced male privilege and are thus not women" argument is tired, but persistent—and seemingly immortal.

Yelp, ever the butt of jokes regarding poor reviews for some of your favorite eating establishments, does a solid for folks who are often left wondering whether the bathroom facilities at these establishments are gender neutral or not.

For this week's Feminism Around the World, I thought I'd focus on the countries doing trans rights right (or at least much more right than we seem to be doing!) in the hopes of perhaps encouraging activism toward these ends.

In a move that surprises just about nobody, the Trump administration rolled back guidelines regarding transgender student bathroom usage.

Women and Hollywood have released an awesome remix of The Hamilton Mixtape's "Immigrants (We Get the Job Done)" titled "Hollywood (Our Work Isn't Done)."

There's a lot of striking going on these days (probably because there's so much injustice going on that's just begging to be protested). Check out what's happening in Ireland.

"We believe this is a more relevant and appropriate view of our business." We agree!

Listen, Idris, you don't have to impress me. I'd let you be my Valentine without you having to do anything for it. But you just can't help being socially conscious AF, can you? *sigh* Well, I'll tell you something right here and now, Mr. Elba...nothing gets me hotter than raising money for girls' education.

Last week, we reported on Emmy Rossum's pay dispute with Showtime and Warner Bros. Television, which left a renewal of Showtime's hit show, Shameless, hanging in the balance. Well, today, there's some excellent news for Rossum, for Shameless, and for the fight against a gendered wage gap.

Wonder Woman's UN campaign is at an end.

As director of the "controversial" (controversial if you have trouble believing women can do things) Ghostbusters reboot, Paul Feig has had a very interesting and not entirely pleasant 2016. In a recent short essay, Feig shares what he's learned about "being a woman." Notably missing are any insights he may have gained about the specific challenges of being a black woman, a la Leslie Jones.

2016 has been rough, and the Internet, for all its ability to bring people together, hasn't seemed entirely helpful—and, at times, has seemed to be one of the biggest parts of the problem. However, for all their enabling of "fake news" (conspiracy theories, lies, and propaganda) and fostering of demagogic tendencies, social media networks aren't necessarily the wastelands of horrors they may sometimes appear to be.

Wonder Woman has always been a symbol of female empowerment. Now, that is being made official on a global scale as the United Nations will be naming her an Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls in an upcoming ceremony!
