Why is that there are still women who let themselves be walked down the aisle by their father and handed over to their husband to be? Like an item. Like a merchandise to be delivered. Like a prize possession. Here she is! She’s all yours now. I give her to you. She now belongs to you. Why? This tradition was...
On your evening stroll through the house, you spot a dirty sock on the living room floor, some paintings on the bench in the hallway, gym clothes hanging in the bathroom. You just walk on by and sit yourself down with a cup of tea and read. If that’s you, congratulations, you’ve mastered the fine art of letting go and...
We all have 24 hours in a day. That’s a lot of hours to get things done. OK, we sleep some of them, but there’s still plenty of time to make something worthwhile. How do you manage those hours? What are your priorities? At the end of the day, do you feel content with what you have accomplished? Lately, I’ve...
Sometimes it just gets to me. Sometimes I feel such despair that despite all of our efforts we haven’t reached further. Sometimes I think that it’ll be no different for my own daughter. I went to a conference this past week. A very interesting conference with a lot of competent speakers, both women, and men. One of the keynote speakers...
We have a ton of opinions and make loads of assumptions about everything. All the time. Every day. Consciously and unconsciously. Is today’s weather good or bad? Is your colleague’s outfit suitable? Is that child’s behavior appropriate? We constantly pass judgment and give value to things. We jump to conclusions and label people and situations that occur as good or...
In the wake of the #metoo movement, there are several high profile men that have been called out on sexual abuse and even rape. Atrocities that they have committed for several years and people have known about it, or at least had very strong suspicions about what’s been going on. Why haven’t they been exposed earlier? How could they get...
We need more women in tech. No arguing there. But how do we achieve it? Why do so few women study tech subjects at the university and why are even fewer working within the tech industry? Are women not interested in tech? Or is there something else that explains the sorry lack of female voices in the industry? Research suggests...
Do you have a clear picture of what’s getting you up in the morning? Do you know why you do what you do? For what purpose are you slugging along trying to get it all together? If you don’t know, you do best in finding out. We need a sense of purpose in life and figuring out your why can...
Gender. Gender inequalities. Gender differences. Always up for debate. You have to tread lightly to not step on someone’s toes. But sometimes that cannot be helped. Sometimes you have to voice your opinion even though not everyone will agree with you. Are gender differences due to biology? Or are they a social construct only? Perhaps a mix of the two?...
As the new year is upon us, I find that it’s an appropriate time to reflect on the year that’s passed. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly. That nagging feeling that you’ve accomplished very little. That you have nothing to show for. Most of the time, that feeling gives a false representation of reality. Before you plan your actions for...
