And we aren’t seeing many efforts to address the sex ratios at colleges, which for many schools are now 60/40 female, or even more. What we address and what we don’t address tells the tale.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-21423777056088595002017-08-11T09:57:55.404-05:002017-08-11T09:57:55.404-05:00I've been in the "Corporate Communication...I've been in the "Corporate Communications" field nearly 40 years, either for external or internal readers, and often both. When I started, it seemed that the M/F ratio was about 50/50. I could see it where I worked, and especially at association conferences. This ratio has moved steadily upwards over the decades to where I am distinctly in the minority. In my present job, the ratio is females by 3 to 1, including all the management positions up to VP (and the CEO of our global company is female). If I go to an association meeting, the attendees are probably 90% female. I haven't felt any discrimination as a result; it's just the nature of the business and skill-set that has attracted women and allowed them to thrive. 3john2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05359114327414576258noreply@blogger.com
