This discussion will consider how having a career as a woman looks different than as a man, especially when contemplating traditionally male-dominated fields. Although society says that we as women should be striving for ever-increasing egalitarianism in our career paths, I will consider if this truly leads to our fulfillment. Double standards may exist for us in these fields, both at work and at home. I want to encourage creativity when discerning a career and describe my journey to becoming a full-time physician assistant, as well as a full-time wife and mother.

Join us for a Q&A to hear stories and advice about how to not slip into the common and sometimes easy mindset of “I hate all men.” We noticed (and have surely participated in) a habit of bashing men for every wrong we experience. While we all do this out of good fun sometimes, there is enough true bitterness behind the sentiment of “man-hating” that we think it is worth addressing. Come ready to hear these women’s real life experiences about working through bitterness from past relationships, navigating friendships with men, and more!
