Re: Double Standards
hey I think the same way...when I was working on wall st, I went to a dinner. It was me and 9 guys going to a top steak house. I was the ONLY one who finished the steak lol!!!! THEN I asked "ok so whats for dessert??" Their jaws dropped. But you can never forget your gender and the expectations that others have of your gender, you have to play it cool and calm. I did well in my career but know other gals who spouted off about being female, or black or blahblahblah when all they needed to do to advance themselves was to do a great job. Do we need to be BETTER than the guys? Yeah, a good part of the time....but the effort is worth it. You CAN be "womanly" AND successful it just takes alot of patience.
