The Gender KnotWhy are we scared of ambitious women?Ambitious women get held to tricky double standards; there’s the expectation that they should have the drive and vision of ambitious men but are also expected to ‘be nice’, to care take others and to not threaten men. And women are often harshly judged for many of the more negative downsides to ambition – such as being less considerate of others and demanding your worth – which are either seen as positives or neutral when done by men.We’re living in an era when there is probably more acceptance of female ambition and championing of women’s potential than ever befo...

Diversity is not just about numbers, or quotas and expecting everyone to be the same. Homogenization is not diversity.
