The Gendered Pursuit of Wealth
Women often face societal disapproval for pursuing financial success, whereas men are usually celebrated for it. This discrepancy is illustrated through popular television shows where men openly negotiate and brag about their earnings, reinforcing the idea that financial ambition is masculine. The discussion highlights how women’s efforts to charge what they’re worth are often met with skepticism, leading to guilt and shame regarding their financial endeavors.
