IS IT THE GENETICS
OF A WOMAN OR THE
MINDSET OF THE MAN?

I

t is high time that we should really judge women by what
they do and not by what they wear. Its not always just about
the pretty face and the culinary skills that she exhibits; or
the way she raises the child and also at times the doormat
in the house. She does mostly these things quite flawlessly.
The fact also is women are doing exceptionally well
and then there’s another fact: that women are not.
They are struggling and suffering to stay afloat. Who
do we blame it for? Is it the genetics of a woman or the
mindset of the man?

The rights provided to women are a serious indicator
to understand the global well being. And we are yet too far
from it. Global Women’s treaty was ratified few decades ago
by majority of world’s nation. Despite many successes in the
endeavor of empowering women, various issues still persist,
ranging from economic to political, social to cultural. It’s purely the mindset that sets everything on the back foot. Women
often work far more than men, yet are paid less. Gender discrimination affects women throughout their lives even in the
most developed nations.
My years of experience in the corporate and business world
and experience with working over 5000 people and organizations of various degrees to principles, ideologies to culture, I
have experienced women to be far more effective than men
in many ways. This is in spite of various limitations that women in India have. Primarily dominated by family and social
driven restrictions. Global researches suggest that though 2535 percent of organizations’ employ women at lower levels,
only 3-4% of worlds top organizations’ have women as their
CEO’s. I fail to understand this ratio. And I really blame the
mindset. One of the most popular beliefs inside organizations
of preferring men over women for the top jobs is the uncertainty attached with a woman. Its often believed that women
are dominated by their family opinion and hence they can quit
anytime. So can men. There is no certainty in anything. Its an
organizations’ duty to empower women. And the fact is why
shouldn’t they?
