I'm in a male-dominated industry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been working in male-dominated industries most of my life. When I started my career in investment banking, I was one of two women in my analyst class.
Do I understand that I'm in a man's industry? 100%.
It's such a male-dominated industry. You can be a feminist, it's just difficult because it sometimes comes back at you.
The brewing industry is a very, very male dominated industry. It's a male bastion.
A lot of professions happen to be male-dominated because women drop out at a certain point. It's unfortunate.
Being a woman in a male-dominated industry, you are so afraid of people thinking you are weak.
I don't think of being a woman in an industry of men. I didn't walk into the kitchen and go, 'Ooh, I'm a girl!' I didn't get into my chosen profession. I wanted to be good at something.
I've been in a very male-dominated business for decades. I found, particularly early on, that there's plenty of room for passion, but there's very little room for emotion.
I think every industry is a male-dominated industry. Whether it is Tollywood or Bollywood or India as a whole, it is male-dominated. We stay in India, and it has been patriarchal society.
Being a woman in a male-dominated industry sort of sucks, but it doesn't suck any more than being a woman in the world. My advice? Be terrifying.
