What do you guys think? How do you like an outspoken woman, huh?
"Back then, I was encouraged that having daughters makes men more concerned about women—it gave me hope that more men would come on board. Now, I just find it embarrassing. Why didn’t I think about these issues before I had daughters?" "And as a man, I don’t feel that this is just a woman’s issue; it’s a social issue. I wish I hadn’t waited to become an advocate for women until I became a dad to daughters and the evidence was staring me in the face. But I guess it’s better late than never. Last year, Sheryl Sandberg asked me what my own data showed about gender. I had done more than a decade of research on success at work, but because of my resistance to acknowledging gender biases, it hadn’t occurred to me to systematically analyze differences between men and women in my studies. When I finally did, I was mortified: men got credit for speaking up and helping, but women didn’t. To bring these persistent biases to light, we decided to write a New York Times series on women at work." https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-i-fai......am-grant |

I've never felt that women were less than just because they are women.
As far as advocating for them, I don't think there is any particular onus to do so. I just treat them fairly, as do anyone else, and speak up when I see them being treated unfairly. Just like anyone else. Though I do believe that the world would be a more peaceful place if more women were world leaders.
If you need fear to enforce your beliefs, then your beliefs are worthless.

If I speak forth, many a mind will shatter,
And if I write, many a pen will break. .....and when I consider my own self, lo, I find it coarser than clay! |

All 3 my wives, and several former girlfriends, are outspoken women. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment!
