I found in my experiences that it's not that men are consciously discriminating against promoting women, but I do believe as people we have self-images about what's good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm trying to encourage more women to be themselves, rather than what men want them to be. I don't believe in patronizing either sex.
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 am always someone who follows the research more than my self-interest. It certainly has not been in my self-interest to defend men. I've gone from being quite wealthy, when I was defending women, to being quite poor defending men.
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 tend to feel threatened; women tend to feel guilty.
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.
We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.
I think it's great for the women to show that they are women and be feminine. And that's something that I've always promoted.
It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.
I believe that men are here to grow themselves into best good that they can be - at least, this is what I want to do.
