Search Results: self confidence

I think confidence, self-esteem, and how you handle yourself have more to do with it, which is why I don't agree with a friend and what they think.

There is always a lot of rhetoric about equal pay and the gender pay gap with the underlying assumption being that women earn less than men due to gender discrimination in the workplace. Last month was Equal Pay Day with all the usual publicity and claims that women get paid less for the same work. http://www.equalpaytoday.org/

It also seems we are bombarded daily with messages about everything that women do better than men, and many women are not shy about claiming women are straight up superior to men. https://www.google.com/search?q=women+are+better+at&oq=women+are+better+at&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2.5662j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

All those claims and messages about female superiority are perfectly acceptable to society despite the harm they do to the minds and self confidence of boys growing up hearing them day after day. It raises the question of why it is not also acceptable to say men are superior, or at least better at some things. Let's take earning money as an example. Men clearly earn more money on average than women despite all the laws in place to prevent gender discrimination and ensure men and women are paid equally for the same work.

Is it time we addressed the elephant in the room and acknowledged that men are simply better at earning money than women, better at being leaders and better at executing the job responsibilities in roles like CEO?
