At the BBC we've had plenty of women in good management jobs. It comes and goes but there's been plenty. On air, I think there's quite a bit more we can do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We ought to have more women in various management positions, because women are the ones who decide almost everything in the home.
Over my lifetime, women have demonstrated repeatedly that they can do anything that men can do, while still managing traditional women's work at the same time. But the same expansion of roles has not been available to men.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
There's a lot of women's organisations, but they're all working separately. If you get people together, as a collaborative voice, it's strong.
There are still people who have an issue working with a woman director. Women can be viewed as 'difficult' even though they work in the same way as men.
Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.
There are 80 jobs in which women earn more than men - positions like financial analyst, speech-language pathologist, radiation therapist, library worker, biological technician, motion picture projectionist.
When we say there's a dearth of women directors, it's not that there's a lack of women who direct: it's a lack of opportunities and access for women to direct and be supported in that.
I'd love to see more women working as directors and producers.
To anyone in the position to hire women directors: Make the commitment.
