I have made it a goal this year to jot down times in which I see gender inequalities or awesome feminism moments each month.
Here’s January:
- Sitting in a weekly operations meeting with 25-30 people and realizing I am the only female manager in the room
- Asking for a raise, and getting one!
- Having two men enter my boss’ office and introduce themselves to him and ignore me completely
- Having my boss stop the conversation to introduce me 🙂
- Watching Trainwreck…ugh
- Attending a training for career development in my company and seeing an equal representation of men and women
- throughout the training the women spoke up more than the men in the room and commanded such a great presence… inspiring…
