Rock On Sisters!
I'm more of a feminist than many females that I know and thank goodness as I am the father of a bright and strong seven year old daughter and husband to a bright and strong wife. I joke that my sons, both of whom are older than my daughter, need to learn to be overly protective of her, but I have no doubt that she's able and will continue to be able to take care of herself along with those around her. So it was nice for me to see the Satisfying Career - Happier Life Career Blog entry by Shweta Khare that Millenial (also known as Gen Y) females are stronger and more confident than the Generation X (my generation) working females.
This new generation in the workforce would be the one of risk-takers and also those who enjoy working for what they believe in and they are the ones who not are in a job only for the money. A larger percentage of this generation has grown up in affluence as never before experienced by the previous generations. They have more direction and more access to information than ever before.
Our lives will continue to be enriched as we work to include more of those who want to work into the workplace. Gone are the days when certain elements of society were barred from the workplace because of the color of their skin, their religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or other such factors. Organizations which refuse to hire or promote people because of such factors are doomed to fail because they will suffer the loss of the most important asset any organization can possess: highly qualified, highly motivated people. I shed no tears when I see those organizations wither and die. Good riddance. Their failure is our liberation.
