I found our class discussion Monday about Sheryl Sandberg and women (leaders) in the workplace particularly interesting because my family discusses this a lot in the Silicon Valley. I read this awesome NYTimes article a while ago and thought about posting it, but I think it's even more applicable now:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/10/opinion/sunday/feminism-lean-in.html"So H.R. managers and self-help authors, slogan writers and TED Talk talkers: Use your platforms and your cultural capital to ask that men be the ones to do the self-improvement for once. Stand up for deference. Write the book that teaches men to sit back and listen and yield to others’ judgment. Code the app that shows them where to put the apologies in their emails. Teach them how to assess their own abilities realistically and modestly. Tell them to “lean out,” reflect and consider the needs of others rather than assertively restating their own. Sell the female standard as the norm."
