Navigating Gender Bias and the Motherhood Penalty in Corporate Culture
The motherhood penalty and gender bias in corporate culture impact women's careers. The penalty extends even to women without children or those who do not plan to have children, portraying an overall gender bias in the workplace. Assumptions are made about women's dedication to their careers based on their potential for motherhood. Women are often faced with subtle biases, like being discouraged from promotions due to impending motherhood. Additionally, women are assumed to be the primary caregivers, facing skepticism and offensive comments when balancing caregiving responsibilities with their careers. These biases are deeply ingrained within corporate culture, affecting women's professional experiences and opportunities.
