We discuss male tendencies that hold women back with Jeremy Stockdale, Owner of Ylead, gender ally, and originator of the "Smash the Patriarchy" Wednesday posts on LinkedIn.  We discuss the various Man- terms and tendencies that Men have adopted due to societal pressures.  We learn why they affect women in a negative way in the workplace, but also in family and other relationships.  It's so refreshing to hear a man acknowledge these inequitable male tendencies.  And his British accent doesn't hurt either!  ;)

He shares a wealth of great tips and recommendations:
