Episode 8: Sexism in the Workplace - a podcast by Luke Cuddy

In this podcast we are very grateful to speak with one of our friends, Marie. Marie worked her way up the corporate ladder of a few different biopharmaceutical companies, beginning in the 1980s and continuing through the 2000s. She generously shares some of her specific experiences of sexism, but also her general thoughts on such a male dominated atmosphere and culture. Some, like infamous psychologist Jordan Peterson, argue that not all professional disparities between men and women are due to sexism. Some men gravitate towards high risk jobs like bridge building, for example, while some women gravitate towards kindergarten teaching. But does this explain the fact that men still, on average, make more than women? Doesn't the explanation of these disparities often come down to cut and dry sexism? We also touch a bit on Buddhism, a belief system Marie identifies with, and the more tolerant attitude of the Millennial generation regarding issues of prejudice and discrimination. The podcast is primarily conducted by my colleague, Alejandro Orozco.
