Gender and gardening? 
This is just gender baiting bullshit.
:/

I would like to give a comment concerning women and academia (although I know this is only a single sentence out of your entire post). 

In some fields of research (including mine), women are largely missing at the level of the permanent positions. As a result, it is today more likely for you to find a permanent job if you are a woman than a man. 

To give an example (that I know about), let's take theoretical physics. The selection committees are put under a strong pressure to hire an equal amount of women although female researchers only consist of about 15% of the applicants. This 15% number should be accounted for before claiming that one should hire as many male and female researchers. A dramatic result would be to miss the hiring of some excellent researchers because of gender reasons . 

Note that I am not saying one should hire 15% of women as there are 15% of female applicants, but a ratio of 50% over 15% is unfair in the other way round. For instance, last year, on the basis of scientific excellence criteria **only**, 60% of the hirings for junior researchers (still in theoretical physics) were female researchers! Therefore, why bother about gender issues whilst good female researchers can definitely get positions on the basis of their scientific excellence only? At least in this very particular case... 

From reading your post, it is clear that there are reasons to worry concerning the access to the land and gender in some countries (which is the covered topic).  But I couldn't prevent to comment on the parallel you made with academia. We must be careful when generalizing (and I am sure there are countries in which if you are a women, the chances to get a permanent job in academia are lower)  :)

good follow on - reading through it it would seem that most of this injustice to ownership would be in the southern and eastern world - western landownership is perhaps fairer to women, but only after many legistlative  reforms brought about by women in the last century. Landownership for woman only came in to the Uk under the Married Womans Property Act 1882 which allowed women to own property in their own right ( England Wales and Ireland only - not Scotland) - this got extended to the colonies of Australia .This act disolved the 'coveature'  ( on marriage, all property  reverted to a husband ) - thus a woman under this act now had the right to own propery with in her own name, to buy and sell .Her rights as an individual werer restored and she would no longer be seen as an identity under her husband.This is turn also meant any debts incurred would be HERS and not her husbands and she could be made bankrupt .  This piece of legislation was the begining of women in the UK to be recognises as an idividual person - it would be a further 36 years before voting became a right for women
"Political movement towards women's suffrage began during the war and in 1918, the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed an act granting the vote to: women over the age of 30 who were householders, the wives of householders, occupiers of property with an annual rent of £5, and graduates of British universities' ( wikipedia)

I have three suggestions for your next post. 

1) let's talk about the unfairness that 0% of men are able to produce milk.  This injustice has solely been based on a woman's elitist attitude towards the idea of raising children.  
2) I'd like you to address is the elephant in the room: when we were hunter/gatherers, women were primarily the gatherers. When they were picking the berries, I'm almost certain they were eating the best berries for themselves. This inequality in berry *providing* has led to mass injustice and inequality in glucose levels among the tribes over time. 
3) I'd like your social justice eyes on this long standing inequality, is the sexism that appears even in nature...specifically with reference to the wild animals the men hunted. It turns out that the animals that killed humans during the hunt, only focused on the men humans and not the women humans - this glaringly obvious omission needs to be rectified and balanced out as quickly as possible.
