What do you think are some of the biggest myths that hold women back in the workplace?

Myths aren’t holding women back. Patriarchy is

I agree with the person above that calling it a myth is not very accurate. They aren't myths, they are lies and prejudice that some groups refuse to stop perpetuating. I think the thing holding women back in the workplace are the people who want to keep us held back.

That we are promoted bc we are a woman and to meet a quota. Not that we are qualified.

YES, I have actually heard men talking about someone who was only promoted so that there would be a woman in the position, and I found it so offensive that it was hard to even find words to address them - but you better believe I found them! Standing up to these lies is so important because that's the only way that we can strip them of their power, little by little.

I can kind of see how the negotiation one comes into play. Just speaking from my experience when I was promoted to higher positions, a lot of those around made it seem like I should be grateful to even be here in the first place let alone want more from it. Wish I could go back and negotiate even more than I did, but at least I know now that I deserve to.

THIS. I cannot say this enough. I honestly thought I wasn't even allowed to negotiate. And I would hear people (men) say they negotiated but never heard women saying they did so I just thought like you said that we should be grateful and take what they were offering.

That we are all emotional. I am rarely emotional unless you piss me off. Takes a lot, only happened once at work.

Everyone is emotional. It’s just that emotions which men tend to express, such as anger or lust, are considered logic because we live in a patriarchy

I went on ONE date with a guy that lives next door months ago. He told me he eats out every night and tips his doordahers poorly. That was a red flag, so I never talked to him again. Anyhoo, I bumped into him tonight, and he cussed me out so bad at a CVS. I’m confused as to what I did wrong?

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.
