Often, the disparities in the ways men and women are treated are subtle; there are not these clear barriers that you have to break down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up in a time when many people believed that men and women should not always be treated equally.
I used to think that the worst form of discrimination for women was being hit on or hearing something disparaging. What's even more challenging for young women is a very senior male who will take an interest in you, who see themselves as father figures or mentors.
I'm not telling women to be like men. I'm telling us to evaluate what men and women do in the workforce and at home without the gender bias.
My experiences with gender bias are probably the norm. What I found was that expectations of women were simply lower, and this resulted in being overlooked for certain opportunities.
As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.
Men treat men differently than they would a woman.
Women are completely disadvantaged - despite what men will say. It is not a fair fight.
In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.
I think nowadays, women are breaking the borders or the boundaries and also trying to give a new interpretation in terms of impact you can have to the society.
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
