For many, men are the most suited for such positions because they are almost always associated as tougher and gutsier. Being a writer myself, I know that women aspire (just as much as men) as being considered as a CEO (or anything equivalent). I think it is time women take a stand and take control in these situations and make a difference.

The head of banking at that point said, "We realize we will lose some business, but we need to run our operation with fairness and equanimity- and that will be employing all of our bankers in a gender blind manner. This is America."

I remember the famous quote "in giving is when you receive". One helps someone grow and succeed and at the same time gets a personal satisfaction. There is another one that comes to mind - "If you push someone up a hill you are closer to the top yourself." We can all do our bit and help change the world slowly but surely by being the harbingers for that change.

It was notable the difference in evaluations between the male and female professors. The dress and appearance of the very few female faculty were regularly commented on. I never once saw a comment about the dress and appearance of the much larger contingent of male faculty.
