“ The whole goal of feminism is to become redundant. My dream is for a world where I won’t have to call myself a feminist because there will be gender justice. And to get there, it has to be a mass movement.”

Do me a favor, Look at yourself and say “I’m really killing this woman shizzzz.” Because babe, YOU ARE!
Black History Month came to an end, and Women’s History Month began!
I’m happy to celebrate this month with each and every one of you by shattering misperceptions of what a woman is and is not capable of.
We’ve reached a tipping point in the United States: For the first time, there are more college-educated women in the work force than college-educated men.
Research shows that women 25 and older now make up 50.2 percent of the college-educated work force — up about 11 percent since 2000.
Women have been earning the majority of bachelor’s degrees, and more advanced degrees, in the United States since the early 1980s.
Those who earned a bachelor’s degree in 2018, 57.5 percent were women.
Unfortunately, the higher you go - the less women there are.
Working moms never really wanted to have kids.
Lots of little girls have aspirations of rewarding careers and being mommies.
Just because a woman’s a stay-at-home mother doesn’t mean she intentionally chose parenthood.
Women are poor negotiators.
The Harvard Business Review found that women are just as skilled at arguing for a pay rise as men – when given the resources.
So women can negotiate equally as well as men, but are put off due to the social barriers.
Women are too emotional to succeed in the workplace.
The survival of this myth depends upon a set of deeply outdated stereotypes; that women are hysterical and sensitive, while men are hardened and well adapted to the world of work.
Research has found that men were twice as likely to get emotional because their “ideas weren’t heard” or because they “were criticized.”
Men were also almost three times as likely as women to experience an emotional event because a project went over budget, missed a deadline or got cancelled.
Moral of the story…
“Myths are a waste of time. They prevent progression.”
