In most developed societies women are climbing to parity with men in practically every sector of human endeavour, a huge change after eons of submission. Women are mens mothers, and the world is becoming a better place since men lieten to them. I am sure it will become and even better one when womwn take full control.....( A coouple of decdes form now.?)
Good article. One of the senior HR managers at my last employer also used to emphasize that women tend to apply for jobs only when they feel they can check 100% of the boxes; men apply when they meet a smaller percentage of criteria. She used to encourage women to apply anyhow, as company job listings often bundle "nice to have" criteria along with "must have" criteria.
first and foremost - from your style, you seem on the way to recovery. Have a speedy and successful journey.
When in India, explore with your sons the many instances of current non-patriarchal social structures: they are scattered about the continent and in danger of being destroyed. The Nair of Kerala come to mind. I choose it here, for the complex structure between the Nairs and the ruling house points to one, if not the deepest reason, for patriarchy: landed property. To me, immovable property and patriarchy go together.
Property is an exclusionary right. Exclusion can only be exercised through brute force - hence the link. Yet, exclusion is a myth. Nature ignores human-drawn boundaries. We see it with the current evolution of the climate. With property, women are "spares" - second best solutions when devising control of landed property beyond the grave. What hybris.
Happy Women's Day
Like your approach.
Thank you!
Happy Women's Day, Pali.
Thank you Pallavi, and Happy Womans Day to you!

Yup. This has been shown to be true time and again. The "confidence gap"
