E: It’s currently 2022.

22 years has passed since the 21st century hit and humans as a society
has come a long way from its previous ways. The whole world has been fighting off misogyny
not just in small individual cases but the system that it has created over the years. Men aren’t the
only ones in positions of power nowadays. By 2020, there were at least 843 LGBTQ people have
been serving in elected offices in US. In Ukraine, about 15% of the Ukrainian army combat
forces. A lot of examples such as these that proves just how much we have progressed when it
comes to gender is true all around the world, but this doesn’t mean that the job is done. The best
way to let you know and understand what I mean is by showing you. Viewer discretion is
advised for the clips you’re about to watch shows the disappointing reality how much work there
is left to be done.

E: The game showcased in these clips is called Valorant. One of the most successful games to be
released in 2020. It has been so successful that literally everyone could play the game. Even kids as
young as 6 plays this game. It may be irrelevant to speak about gender in this kind of sense but one way
to look at this is that this is how they act in-game. It doesn’t matter if the women in these clips play good
or not. This may be online and the anonymity may make these an exaggerated representation of the
current status of the world when it comes to gender. What these videos show us is how deep gender
inequality has been in the minds not only of the past generations but also the young minds of today’s
generation. In this documentary, join us as we go deeper into one of the most controversial issues that
the world is dealing with today.
