Check-In: What's giving you hope right now? 

Big Ideas:

  • What constitutes inequity?
  • When your unbelonging can connect you with other people who feel unbelonging
  • Gender equity issues not coming up in some leadership trainings 
  • Cultural and country differences in gender equity
  • Calling out misogynistic jokes - Should I? Context dependent?
  • "isms" as part of the air we breathe - it's conditioned into us
  • Creating the system and benefitting from it - are they separate
  • Unconscious bias that comes out in small ways as a parent
  • Is awareness enough to change behavior? 
  • If we are all sexist, does that make the word meaningless?
  • Sexists are actively causing harm...???
  • Sexism is mostly unintentional - men don't even know it's sexist
  • What do we call people who are functioning in patriarchy in unconscious ways, but still causing harm?
  • The myth of meritocracy 
  • Meritocracy - achievement is based solely on your skills
  • Blind assessments to even things out
  • Performance review differences between men and women
  • Transparent data and decisions on manager, causing inequities to even out
  • Be internally transparent with income differences
  • Women tend not to negotiate their salaries, but they will negotiate on the behalf of others
  • Women less likely to nominate themselves for promotions
  • Asking women to be like men doesn't work
  • Double bind - not assertive enough, not seen as a leader, too assertive, seen as being bitchy
  • Anger as a man is okay, being sad/emotional as a man is associated with weakness
  • Expectations in our gender roles
  • When there's no problem, there's no data usually
  • Believing you are objective, makes you more likely to be sexist. 
  • Thinking of the behavior separate from the identity
