Men and women cannot stand by and tolerate the injustice. This article only looked at women in the CBD industry, but what about men in the makeup and fashion industry? What about women being the primary provider while the man stays to care for responsibilities at home? As time continues on, we hope that society will be more open-minded and accepting.
