Motherhood isn’t all of It

“I am a professional woman in a scientific industrial company, and my twin sister is in a engineering design role for telecommunications products. We bring this up in our conversations all the time: where are all the women?! Our jobs are very different, but I’m the only woman in my department of 40 people and she’s the only woman in a group of 130! We’re both 29 and have established solid careers, and if motherhood was the ONLY reason why THIS was all happening, we’d see a lot more younger women entering these industries and leaving in their 30’s. There’s something more here then parental leave going on here. Is it our unrealistic expectations in high school that we are all gonna be famous movie stars? Or our lack of successful, passionate, professional female role models other then the Kardashians? Or are more high school girls thinking about having a job that can support having a family with a career like teaching or nursing? Or is it that industrial production equipment is designed for men and push “weak women” out? Or is fashion such a huge decider of our vision of success that it influences our career paths away from “grimy” and hard working “manly” jobs with heavy lifting, power tools, and mechanical work, because it’s “unladylike”. Those jobs require a lot of skill and are good paying, and are plentiful! If the women’s stereotypical vision of success is as unrealistic as the contentless stock photos of hot women in power suits wearing glasses bent over a conference table in a skyscraper, then women have a HUGE misunderstanding of what it takes to be successful and how to get there, so any roadblock along the way hits women harder then men do. If any of you are a professional woman in a male dominated industry and are still reading this review, you know that men expect you to be “the best” in your role, because how else could a woman be hired for the job? And there are struggles with hiring multiple women as well because of this mindset. Women compete and even bring down other women for the title of being “the best”. It’s hard as it is ladies! Look, I’m glad we’re talking about the Female Fallout, BUT I think this podcast opened up a big can of worms here and the conversation shouldn’t stop at babies, because personally it was never an issue for me, but so much more was: work place harassment, the male dominated work structure, culture and social standards, industrial fashion, bro-bubbles, young women stereotypes, weight lifting standards, the list goes on!”

“If you’ve experienced gender inequality in the workplace, you can commiserate. If you aren’t familiar with these kinds of stories, educate yourself. No matter where you’re coming from this is a must-listen podcast.”
