Stop asking women to justify their worth!
Enjoying the outdoors. But women are often put under extra and unfair pressure which stops them enjoying things men can!
.. To explain their value. To demonstrate their effort.
Last week I noticed how one arm of an organisation, that's for women (run by women!) stresses how it's expected that they do extra, that they give more, to explain how they do charity or community work
ON TOP of normal responsibilities. In order to gain credibility. 'Because you should give back!'
But the arm of the business, aimed at men and women, doesn't mention the extra. Now, I'm wondering how often this happens?
Women already pay a higher price (financially and mentally) in society. MENTAL LOAD even has a name.
Appreciate the slog and unwavering commitment? Absolutely.
EXPECT it? No. It's outdated and has as much appeal as a used, cold, discarded tea bag.
I nearly started this post with some softer intro. Nah, that's more darn effort!
And if you wonder why you/your teams take longer in conversations, these double standards might be why
WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN DEALT DOUBLE-STANDARDS?
P.S. If you/your teams have trouble saying NO to things, get in touch. That IS my bag! See the contact page. See coaching, speaking and workshops available.
