Do you ask some of these questions to the male candidates you interview? [𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀]
No? Good. What about female candidates then? [𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁]
No? Great. But do you still "𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤" about some of these when you interview women? [𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂]
No? Brilliant! [𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃]
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀 & 𝐁: Erm, we need to work on this.
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂: You are half way there!
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃: You are a rockstar!
There isn't probably much to be worry if you are still at "𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂" and do think about some of these sometimes. That's probably because of the way many of us have been conditioned by the society to think over the years for decades. However, what is required is the need to acknowledge the bias and then work towards breaking it, eliminating it. Awareness is the first big step. A few more conscious steps need to be taken next to move towards conquering the deep rooted bias. So if you are at A/B, try to go up to C and if you are at C, try and attain D.
On this #InternationalWomensDay let's take the pledge to #BreakTheBias
