Her Ambitious Career
Ep 57 - 'How Women's Safety is a Man's Issue - The Importance of Tackling Toxic Masculinity', with guest Allan Ball
Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for ambitious corporate women who want the recognition they deserve, to be paid appropriately, to be promoted.
Ladies, this week we are talking about gender equity and the imbalance of both power and resources between the genders.
My guest today is Allan Ball, Director of White Ribbon, the world’s largest movement engaging with men and boys to eliminate gendered violence against women and children.
Now you may have encountered your fair or unfair share of sexism at home and at work...
You may have encountered emotional or physical abuse...
That imbalance of power and resource...
Salary discrepancies...
A poor distribution of opportunities at work.
These are all examples of gender imbalance. We live in a system, in a culture where although most men are our supporters, a small minority of men continue to hold women back.
In this episode Allan shares his thoughts on these important topics:
1. How women’s safety is a man’s issue… what that means and how men can step up
2. How sexism, throw-away sexist jokes and bias towards women all operate in the same culture that also enables emotional and physical assault - even the murder of women. How can such complexities be addressed?
3. The difference between 'healthy' and 'toxic' masculinity... and how the majority of men, the healthy men, can challenge the minority in a constructive way
