When men cut jobs, they're seen as decisive. When women do, they're vindictive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Let's face it: men do a lot of things in the workplace that women just don't do.
Like men, women have to be diligent and work hard.
I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I've observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation.
Men are very competent in their workplace - and this is going to sound sexist - women are better at running households and juggling lots of things, kids and scheduling and that kind of thing.
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
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 women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.
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 think women are used to stepping up and getting the job done when you need to.
Most of us believe that women can do what men do. The challenge is to convince employers, legislators, mothers, that men can do what women do.
