I had a laugh since this showed up in my feed. I think it is kind of misleading since its only looking at the S&P 500 companies.

Man or woman. Black, white or brown. Straight, gay, somewhere in between. Brown-eyed, blue-eyed or hazel-eyes. Short, tall, fat, or thin. Atheist, Agnostic, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Moslem, Hindu, or Buddhist.
If they can get the job done? Does it really matter?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It doesn't matter but with the tensions going on in the US, apparently it matters to the ones running the media outlets.

The media is polluting the minds of the populace. People cannot think for themselves. They need the media which is very sad. It seems for the vast majority they've become puppets in the hands of the puppeteer

Yea it definitely is sad but the most we can do is to point them in the right direction if they want to listen. Its funny how often the media contradicts itself so people would start thinking.

Some would but most don't , people are very stupid lol.

you know right! i have stopped talking to people about crypto because of this. they keep asking " where does the money come from?" and I am like "where does fiat come from? a corrupt government you barely truth?"
lol miss me with that bullshit

Lol I agree completely with you on this .
The same question was asked to me by one of my relative and believe me I explained to him like explaining to a child but still he was complaining about stuff.

the information is out there but people don't listen. it is almost impossible to believe that a system that has profited you in some way is bad. this is the dilemma of most individuals. well I am glad I am out of that mess

It is all about Television rating points for them , they don't care about anything else right now . They seem to worry more about money than about society . They can influence in a big way and they are using that power in a wrong way.

the things we do for money. seems everybody got a price. i wish we could be more objective but with the plethora of information out there, it is almost impossible to verify everything so I get why so people are hooked on platforms that have proven to be reliable in the past.

I agree unless we work for something better than Money .
I would love to have a job where it makes a difference and satisfaction is my reward and money is secondary .

Well gender equality is something I think we must take seriously .
Man or woman , does it matter? If we are looking a particular position - then NO . If we are looking a bigger picture like the whole nation? - Definitely YES , we should see why there is only 6% of women becoming CEO , what is hindrance ? What is stopping it from reaching 50% ?

The word is 'competency'
If you're competent you should get the job irrespective of your gender or affiliation. We are treading a dangerous line with these new ideas. They all seem laudable but the end is chaos.
I know there are groups and people who have been marginalized. The job is to get them to the table not to feed.

You are very right but what if I am competent but due to various other factors I am not getting the opportunity ?
Saw for example - what if parents force the daughter to marry than to pursue her dreams ?

there are no absolutes like Naval would say. situations are different. in this case, the said lady is a victim of her circumstance. maybe she would have a chance to make things right. i believe we all get a chance to change the course of our lives in the right direction
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True but as you said it depends on the situation . There are lot of people out there who are fighting to just get freedom so to reach their potential they have to fight a lot more ( which isn't true for say "me" ).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Unfortunately, I am one of those people fighting for their freedom in so many ways. I have enough reasons to fail and they all seem justifiable but I would rather fight for my chance in life. Fight with everything I have got. Nothing is guaranteed but I would rather die fighting

Well although that particular article only focuses on S&P 500 , it is actually true for other companies too ( atleast in India ) . I usually am interested these type of stuff and there really is inequality here .
Due to various social factors , women aren't yet able to reach their full potential .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, the same happens here. There are some researches that show that diversity is actually good for business results but we don't see it that often here. We still have too few women, black people and minorities in general in leadership positions.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Diversity is good but I don't think moving people without the ability to take these positions is a good idea. If they have the skill set and ability to do the job without issues, then yes I think they should be moved up to leadership. But changing the pool to only woman or minorities can make some unqualified people move into leadership positions.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup, that's the idea. The problem is today the exact opposite happens. We have a lot of people moved up to leadership because they are white and male even though they lack the skills for the job.
Not unusual for a woman who is actually more qualified to get denied to a promotion and usually a very bullshit excuse follows like "Oh she's good, but she doesn't have the emotional control that the job requires" and stuff like that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very well said , these are the scenarios we must find a solution to . I don't believe in "white privilege" but sometimes "men privilege" happens :/ unfortunately .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You are right but what I am trying to say is , there are women with good skill set but due to social disability they aren't able to reach their potential .
I am not speaking for all women , I don't like 50% of the office should be women even though they don't know the job - NO , only those women who have the skill set but aren't getting the opportunities.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Right on , same here in India , a survey done couple of months ago said we are losing more than 250 billion $ because women are sitting at home taking care of family only rather than working even though they are capable of working.

In the US, I wouldn't say as much. Although there is still some inequality, there is definitely some concerning issues. For example in the military, I don't think they should reduce the standards to enter or pass exams because too many of them fail. If there is a problem with the exams itself then we can address it but to decide to change it just because too many of the recent woman applicants have failed it is bad.
You have to realize that they might be going out to war and if they can't do the basic stuff now, what will happen to them when they are in a situation that requires these skills?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very good example . I agree to that . Bringing down standards , pulling down men isn't equality , it is about uplifting the women.

Part of it is what women choose to major in during school. I come across so many who get bs degrees believing that someone will hire them.
Few going into the stuff that leads to the top.
From my experience, a women's best path is in sales. They usually will outperform the men and sales and marketing is where a lot of CEOs come from...at least they always did.
Tech companies tend to be a bit different.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I absolutely agree and I don't support those . I am talking on behalf of those who have the necessary skills but due to social factors they are restricted to not work .
