You know what? Throughout my career, one of the things that has struck me the most is the lack of masculine energy.
Looking past the sea of ugly ergonomic chairs, how often the women’s toilets are situated on an entirely different floor and the fact that the majority of senior managers have been men… also forgetting the time I was actually shushed by a male colleague while presenting my strategy to a room full of other male colleagues – oh, and when one male boss decided to put a wager on with my male colleagues to see who could bed me first (spoiler: none)… the places I’ve worked, particularly when I was starting out, positively reeked of femininity.
