I choose an article written by Kathy Caprino of Forbes.com, the article is titled Gender Bias At Work. The article is centered on Senator Kamala Harris, a Democrat of California. Harris was rudely interrupted by her male colleagues and as the article states, called “hysterical” by them, for being assertive and forceful. Kathy Caprino trains hundreds of professional women every year and as she stated in her article this type of behavior is not an isolated experience.
My opinion on this issue is pretty straight forward I agree that this behavior is unreasonable and unacceptable. It is not fair to women that when a man is assertive and forceful they are taken serious, but when a women is she is ignored and ridiculed over it. From personal experience many women are head of some of the biggest most successful companies in the world. I work for Frito Lay, which is owned by Pepsico, in which the CEO of our company is a women. This is an example of both conscious and unconscious bias against commanding women. This is unconscious because women are being isolated and essentially put into a different group then men. This is also conscious bias by essentially stereotyping women, when in fact an opinion from another gender or ethnicity should be welcomed because it brings a different perspective. Women shouldn’t be treated as if they are acting up or misbehaving just of being assertive and forceful.
