Pros And Cons Of Working as a Man For Woman’s Job
The New York Times featured an article, “The Feminine Critique” by Lisa Belkin on how women are in a pickle in the working world. Even 30 years after women entered the workplace in dominating numbers females cannot fully embrace their “feminine” side while at the same time be “taken seriously.” Why is that?
When employees are asked to name the top quality in their ideal leader, regardless of this quality, (Switzerland said “problem-solving skills”, United States and England said “their ability to inspire others”, others said “team builder”) women don’t have it, at least not as much as men.
It’s like the ancient Bauskota and Colere tribes, where the significant work can only done by the men, regardless of giftings or passions, if you are a female you’re not going to be able to do it as well as a man. Why? Because it’s “men’s work.” End of story.
