Response to Jocelyn Fredrick's Lean In Post

            

Do you think it is important for woman to be working together to make a stand in a man’s world? 



               While I'm not sure how these "Oprah sessions" work or how one would go about to get into one, I do believe that it is important for women to work together to make a stand in a "man's" world. There is a large disparity between men and women in the workplace that favor the men and (speaking from a male perspective) men are not going to go out of their way to fix the gap. Life is full of inequalities that a person is given at birth; it will only be changed by those that must endure those inequalities. For inequalities between men and women that means that women must be the ones to change and fight these inequalities, not men. Seriously, if you have an advantage over your competition are you going to go out of your way to "level" the playing field? That's a rhetorical question by the way because the answer to that is NO. If that's not your answer then you, my friend, are in for a rough trip as a business major. This "book club" kind of social group will increase women's connections within the business world and bring them one step closer to and equal playing field with men.
