Gender Disparity

well i do face some gender disparity at work. i am fortunate enough to not be passed over for promotions. it's not so much my bosses but my co-workers. they tend to pass snide remarks about everything i do. things like i did well in certain things because i had something on with my boss. or i am trying to show off when all i want to do was share on things i know. to them, women should never outshine men. i find this thinking a little strange and difficult to accept. however, after ten years, i've become kind of immune to it. cheers ;p

it is more or less there. may be its not there so much in my family, but many relatives do so. in office also the gender priority is given based on who mixes more with the managers.

Hmm. I don't know whether it can be considered gender disparity or perhaps I'm just being a sensitive lazy layabout, but my mother singles me out for housework, even if my brother and I are both tired from work and school respectively. When I complain that my brother lazes around the house all the time, while she makes me do all sorts of chores, she comments that I, being a girl, SHOULD know about housework, whereas my brother doesn't. (I then complain about the gender bias in that statement, and what if I'm the one who ended up working when I get married? Then I rant that I'll just marry a guy who's good at housework, but my mother insists that SHE will be the one who will look bad if I continue being the lazy layabout not-good-at-housework person that I am) As a full disclosure: my mother is a housewife, full-time (not that I've ever seen a part-time housewife) and has been for the duration of the time I've known her. Also, being the world-weary, knowledgeable person that she is, she keeps insisting that the woman is the one who keeps the marriage going, and that even if both people are working, housework usually falls on the woman. Which might be another kind of gender disparity, but I'm not the right person to ask (fortunately).
