A lot of professions happen to be male-dominated because women drop out at a certain point. It's unfortunate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's such a male-dominated industry. You can be a feminist, it's just difficult because it sometimes comes back at you.
If you look back on professions, when they became undervalued and paid less, women tended to do better in them.
Women have taken on traditionally masculine roles and professions, and there is no real equivalent for men. Men are still extremely reluctant, as we all are reluctant to see them, take on traditionally feminine roles or professions. That is just not something that they do easily.
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'm in a male-dominated industry.
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.
When men hold the greater majority of all professional positions of power, it is impossible for a woman to advance her career without the support of men.
We have a large pool of talented and educated women, and yet workplaces haven't necessarily changed to accommodate the reality of their lives.
Being a woman in a male-dominated industry, you are so afraid of people thinking you are weak.
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.
