It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it. ↗
Men are very competent in their workplace - and this is going to sound sexist - women are better at running households and juggling lots of things, kids and scheduling and that kind of thing. ↗
