With the release of Twitter IPO filling we discovered not surprisingly that all of its executives and broad members are male.But what even more is that the investors are still all MALE!!
Kric commented on the article “TWITTER IPO: Where are the Women?”and said that Silicon Valley’s culture is one characterized by male dominance. No entrepreneur would say that they hold a bias toward women, but it’s obvious that it just in cases like this. Startups ae hesitant to promote women because they don’t fit the traditional mold of Silicon Valley leadership, leading to even fewer women in these positions. This is true because due to a recent survey women’s said they get made fun of when they take an interest of engineering and mathematics.
How can this change?Should twitter be criticized?Should we judge twitter differently because of this?
My point of view is definitely no.What we need to do is to”put up”more woman and encourage them to do what they are interested of,not being scared of the public’s view or the traditions.What I think really prevents women from entering Business is Themselves not any other.For me as a female myself,Whenever a person judges me with my gender I feel like having to work hard to prove myself and this just made me more ambiguous and putting in more effort.
“That’s the attitude a woman needs to survive in a male-dominated industry and, it just so happens, that’s precisely the attitude an entrepreneur needs to survive too”quoted by Sarah Lacy in her article”Twitter’s female problem”which inspired me to sit down and consider this question carefully.Seriously speaking no actual Business ethic of Gender exists nowadays,Its just the feeling that still stays in peoples or more specifically saying in women’s heart.Just get rid of it and think of all those successful Business women.The next one would be you.
