Although progress has been made in gender equality, much remains undone in terms of gender equity. Much has been achieved in advancing gender equality, but far more must be done to realise gender equity. But for a start, we must confront the persistent narrative that portrays the rise of women as the fall of men. While there have been extreme cases of radical feminism where women seek to literally ‘sit’ on men, the fight for gender equality has never been about one gender declaring war on the other. This is not a gender war; it is an engendering engagement, not a battle of the sexes, but a battle of biases.
