Apparently, Justin Bieber has learned a lot regarding women's struggles. Ok, I'll bite. On Monday, in honor of International Women's Day, Bieber took to Instagram and divulged how much his wife, Hailey Bieber, has taught him about the struggles women face.


"I know i have been naive and haven't been empathetic to women in the past and have overlooked their struggles," Bieber wrote alongside an International Women's Day illustration. "I am learning everyday beside my wife." Bieber has always been vocal about his admiration and support for his wife, continuously posting videos and photos of his life with Hailey, whom he married in 2018.


Bieber's post comes a few days after Hailey praised her husband on his 27th birthday, expressing how Bieber is her "favorite human."

"Another year around the sun with you, another year of getting to love you, grow with you and laugh with you," Hailey wrote. "Happy 27th birthday." That's... sweet, I guess. In addition, Bieber continued to express his commitment to women's plights, and mentioned how he would never fully understand their struggles.

"I am committed to being better and more aware of the struggles women face that men never will!!" he continued.
"Women you are superhero's [sic] and deserve to be celebrated today and everyday."

I mean, he's not wrong.

Women have continuously struggled throughout history. It's not exactly breaking news. I guess it comes with the territory of not being born a man. While Bieber's appreciation for his wife is adorable at best, it falls a little flat. It's easy to admire someone you're legally bound to, who also happens to be a 5'7 model.

If Bieber is truly committed to being an ally for women, he needs to do a better job advocating for them, rather than posting an illustration on Instagram. Considering the majority of his fan base is female, Bieber should focus on elevating those voices, not just for duration of Women's History Month, but every day after that.

Can tech help female entrepreneurs break the bias?

Women founders continue to come up against common challenges and biases - solving this problem is bigger than supporting women, it’s about supporting the national economy.

Starting a business may have historically been perceived as a man’s game, but this couldn’t be further from reality. Research shows women are actually more likely than men to actively choose to start their own business – often motivated by the desire to be their own boss or to have a better work-life balance and spend more time with their family.

How am I doing as a parent?

Evaluating yourself is hard. It's even harder when attempting to assess your parenting because there's no set guide and nothing to count, measure, or quantify.

How am I doing as a parent?

Some time ago, I met my lovely friend for a drink, straight off the train from London. She told me about a very intense performance review she had at work recently, which, although scary, was incredibly useful; it gave her a general sense of how she was doing and areas to work on.

And it struck me we don't get this feedback as parents. Am I doing a good job? I have no idea.
