Most women are not programmed to prefer a great career to a great man and a family. They feel they were sold a bill of goods at college and by the media.

There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.

I think, in general, more women need to be involved in music and in the industry - that's been an issue.

We have a large pool of talented and educated women, and yet workplaces haven't necessarily changed to accommodate the reality of their lives.

Women are not making it to the top of any profession in the world. But when I say, 'The blunt truth is that men run the world,' people say, 'Really?' That, to me, is the problem.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

I have seen women who are very interested in tech finish their graduate or undergraduate degrees, but then choose not to pursue a career in tech because they're not sure they want to spend the next 20-30 years in an industry that's very male dominated.

This is still a man's profession, with a lot of men who intellectually and emotionally have not accepted that the military could be women's work.

There are millions of women who are trapped in lower-paying jobs and don't have the skills for a higher-paying job, and don't have the money or the time to access the higher education that they need for a better job.
