Inside Joe Biden’s New ‘Gender Equity’ Plan: Taxpayer-Funded Abortion, Gender Ideology, Identity Politics

The Biden administration released the “National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality” last Friday. “This is our vision for the future of our nation—one that is bold in strategy,” said an enthusiastic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Yet a close look at the 42-page report finds that it seeks to profoundly change “social and cultural norms” about gender identity, eradicate “harmful gender norms” like masculinity and femininity, radically expand abortion funding at home and overseas, promote transgenderism and the erasure of women, fund universal pre-K around the world, promote sex education, institute new gun control laws, and prevent anyone from using the internet to “intimidate” any woman.

In 2020, full-time year-round working women on average made only 83 cents on the dollar as compared to men — with women of color paid even less.” It promises, “We will also promote pay transparency, taking steps to increase analysis of pay gaps on the basis of gender, race, and other factors, and outline plans to eliminate these disparities.”

But the plan ignores the fact that millions of independent life choices lie behind those economic outcomes. Numerous surveys have shown that working mothers prefer flexibility to money or job status; one poll found that 40% of women would take a pay cut for more family-friendly hours. The Pew Research Center found in 2013 that, while fathers with children under the age of 18 work seven hours a week more than men with no children at home “mothers spend less time [three hours a week] in paid
