I say...
I am woman, hear me roar!!!
Now why would anyone care as long we don't learn to respect ourselves, respect our commitments and respect each other.
I know its a trivial thing, but it affected me.
Women in my office decided to come all traditional dressed up one day. While everyone said yes, there was a lukewarm response that day.
Fine!!!
Another day same story. But some women said they were unhappy about the response. So, some women took initiative to have a desi day the next day...and that day is today.
No body except me, including the leaders in this initiative, has turned up all dolled.
And I had an audit today, the last thing I wanted to do is look unprofessional. Yet I believed, since it was a desi day at office I should be a part of it. And I committed.
Sad it is that we women want to be taken seriously, at work, while making decisions...while all the time we can't seem to respect our own decisions.
How many of us commit to reach at a venue at 5 and reach a good one hour late.
I have heard this from so many women...when a woman says NO its a NO, its not a MAYBE. Are we sure??? Can we blame others not to take our NO very seriously when we have proved time and again that we can't seem to keep our own word.
This a very trivial matter, but it speaks volumes about our attitudes. Out of 25 odd women only 1 kept her word, rest couldn't care less.
