Forced uncalled-for emancipation

Nowadays it seems that the female part of our population need an extra push to come close to or even equal the number of men in higher management.

There are two words in my introduction that I need to emphasize: seems and push. Let me explain.

It's safe to say that men and women in general have different (subconscious) goals in life. Evolution has made sure that we are genetically designed to take the decisions in life we need to in order for us to achieve our goals. Now when I say genetically I am not just referring to our physical differences. Even more important than that is our mental 'wiring'.

Believe it or not, we are not even aware of most decisions we take. The bulk of our decisions are subconscious ones, aimed at ultimately fulfilling our life's destiny. And yes, men and women do have different ultimate goals in life. Although this seems to be an old-fashioned way of looking at things it is still true (even if it is only our subconscious mind that seems to act accordingly).

Fact of the matter is that women (even nowadays) choose their personal life above their career. For them, being around their children and providing a good environment for them to grow up in is a more important priority than becoming CEO of a global company (and having to spend over 60 hours a week at the office).

In short: women choose their own future based on their mental 'wiring'. We shouldn't push them to aspire a role they weren't genetically designed for. And I am not saying they are not just as capable as men, I am just saying that in general women find more happiness in the role they were wired for i.e. taking care of their children. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, there always are, these exceptions will make it to whatever goal they aspire.

I am a firm believer in the capability of human beings to achieve whatever goal they reach for, as long as they really want to reach their goal consciously as well as subconsciously. That's were the wiring gets in the way most of the time.

Leave me a note whether you agree or not... just because this is what I believe doesn't mean I think this is the ultimate truth.
