Story 10: #WHIPIT: CAN WOMEN HAVE IT ALL?
Have you ever felt boxed in “because you’re a woman?”
Female trailblazers from different fields discuss the results of a survey on women at #WHIPIT, a forum on gender bias hosted by Rappler and Pantene. The survey was done in the National Capital Region or NCR, with the assumption that more progressive views and ways of life happen in urban areas – in our capital and surrounding areas.
The survey shows a more liberated view of women that’s not quite reflected in reality – revealing certain biases that still exist today.
Some key highlights from the survey:
54% of women believe women who work tend to be pushy.
65% believe it’s more important for men to finish a university education.
71% of men and women believe when jobs are scarce, men deserve employment more than women.
70% of men think women need to downplay their personality to be accepted.
And, there’s an almost 50/50 split when it comes to choosing family over career.
