Edition #1 - Women can crush Wednesdays
Learning from Marianne Osterlund!
Firstly
I know it’s late, but…
Secondly
Here is a thread on Key to Achieving Gender Equality
Yes, you can not run a car with just two wheels! Today, women have all it takes to crush Wednesdays, and Thursdays and Fridays! But a little support can go a long way. Can you help make our lives a little less miserable? Come on we have bomb bay doors opening every month! Men, pull up your socks, please!
Gender equality is NOT simply a women’s issue. Women are ok the way they are, it’s just that we need to nurture a better community around supporting women, their daily lives, hopes, dreams, wishes, and careers. And for this, we NEED the involvement of men - men in position, men at home, men who support - wholeheartedly and fiercely!
Can you share this post with two men who have supported you through thick and thin?
Hey! Same! I am also at the beginning of my career! And I happy to receive the support of men and women who have provided the access to safety, security & surety. I might be okay. But what about the millions or billions of women that have not received similar support? How can we change that?
Man, can you imagine? $28 trillion is like a trillion times twenty-eight! To all the chauvinists, dont do it for us! Do it for the money! Do it for the economy! You know you love doing all sorts of ‘shit’ for the economy right? You can read the 2015 McKinsey report here.
The Lean In article on 7 Tips for Men Who Want to Support Equality basically summarizes the following:
Dont let success affect women negatively
Be fair when evaluating men & women, dont stereotype or exaggerate
Give women credit where it’s due
Involve women in discussions
Share the damn load
Dont discriminate against mothers
Give opportunity and mentorship
Being a woman is evidently not very easy. The least we can do is help make their lives a little better. Women have been going through periods, and PMS since the beginning of civilization - at least we can try to make this part of their lives a little less miserable.
