I find the definition somewhat problematic as it primarily hinges on a binary perspective of gender, which may overlook non-binary and gender-nonconforming identities. A more inclusive definition could be: "Gender inequality refers to the unequal access to resources, opportunities, and rights experienced by individuals based on their gender identity, where societal structures support unequal valuation and treatment of diverse gender expressions."

I think the definition is not very good because it only looks at two types of gender, like male and female. This leaves out people who don’t fit in those categories, like non-binary and gender-nonconforming individuals. A better definition could be: "Gender inequality is when people have different access to resources, opportunities, and rights because of their gender identity. Society often supports ideas that value some genders more than others and treats different gender expressions unfairly."
