The Brit, inches from the abyss, with no way back, only eternal nothingness in front of them and thousands of broken dreams and lost hopes lying shattered and scattered behind, will consider the situation, let out a deep sigh and utter their final words:

In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 43% lower than men's.
We've been celebrating International Women's Day today in a number of ways, with art, library displays, poetry readings, talks and more. Everyone was keen to show their solidarity with the movement by demonstrating the #BreakTheBias, crossed-arms pose. #InternationalWomensDay
