These are both important because women are assumed to be ‘less productive’ due to childbirth and are therefore given less opportunity. Which amounts to a betrayal of future generations since children should be able to bond with mothers (and vice versa) during the first year of life without it affecting mom’s oppurtunities. Supporting women is our investment in the future
Keep men away from each other. Studies have shown that, when men are concentrated in groups, testosterone and aggression go up while empathy goes down. Men then begin to assume they have dominion over all other living things, including women.
Men need to spend time with women and children to become more balanced individuals who prioritize empathy and inclusiveness. Many men would also benefit from having greater exposure to and respect for nature also.
Don’t promote gender neutrality blindly. Too many institutions aim for 50/50 representation without giving women the tools they need to succeed, which emboldens those that wish to claim women are less capable. Support needs to be provided from the ground up to balance for historical injustices.
Probably the most obvious but… Just listen to women. Men tend to not listen to or respect women when they are in that hypercompetitive mode driven by testosterone imbalance. Too many (especially Western) men worship at the alter of logic and reason while ignoring emotional intelligence or right brain development in general, at the expense of women and others.
Patriarchy fails both men and women in its own unique way so development on both sides is needed to create a more inclusive world.
Ensure it is illegal to ask about pregnancy.
Maternity leave that is at least 12 months.
