Welcome to DivaTribe

 

A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.

So true, so frustrating.

********************************************************
Excerpts from this abc news story:  http://www.yahoo.com/s/725054

On average, women still make just 77 cents on the dollar compared to men.

Two actors -- one male, one female -- played job applicants with identical resumes, going for the same job. Volunteers watched their interviews -- scripted so as to be exactly the same -- during which both ask for more money.

The results: The volunteers were 30 percent less likely to hire the woman than the man. The reason: She's too demanding and pushy, even though she said exactly the same things as her male counterpart.

This really doesn't surprise me.  I've held the same position as males with less education then myself and have found out they made more.

Isn't it a shame that this is still a reality??  It's really quite disturbing.

It really bugs me because I work in a female-dominated profession (social work) and places will pay males more to attract them to the field.
