The Cost Of Sexism

What an eye-opener. 👀

Being neither an economist nor very well versed in any matters that affect a global populous…

…reading this has given me a real sense of perspective.

If you’re a man in business at the moment and you believe that scientifically, physically, biologically or any other illogical statement that “women are an inferior species to men” - read this book. It covers all the angles a misogynist may counter an argument with.

A quote that brings some of the eye-watering statistics into focus:

“The damage the pay gap does to Britain's economy is considerable.
British women lose £140 billion a year in pay due to the gender gap,
an average of £9,112 (about US$12,000) a year per person. And Britain sacrifices about €123 billion a year because of lost productivity associated with unequal compensation.”

I urge everyone to pick up a copy of this. We’re all missing a trick. Every piece of information from Linda Scott is backed up with first hand accounts and real/present data.

Disclaimer: On reflection I have contributed in the past towards sexist behaviour and I’ll own that.

Nevertheless, I’m glad I have the opportunity to educate myself further 👍 I'm now equipped.
