In the latest discussion on "Unfiltered Vet Discussions," Kelly Baltzell, Phil Richmond, Peter Weinstein, Stacee Santi, Jenni George, and David McCormick explored gender disparities in aviation and veterinary fields. They cited a YouGov study where 33% of Americans, including 46% of men and 20% of women, believe they could land a 747 without training. In veterinary practices, women own 40% of clinics, yet salary disparities persist, despite women comprising 80% of veterinary school students. The panel also discussed generational shifts, the impact of parenting on self-esteem, and the importance of breaking gender stereotypes. Emphasizing the need for intellectual humility and self-compassion, they highlighted the ongoing challenge of closing gender gaps in both industries.
