Yeah. So there's two important things there that I think we need to say. Number one, is that how on earth are women going to be not promoted or not warranting the promotion because they're out there having babies when we are, as a society, having fewer children than ever before in our history, and women are having children at a later age than ever before,

Fertility preservation and fertility treatment in general has skyrocketed because women are trying to have more babies and are not successful. And particularly for women surgeons, infertility is pervasive. So I think women are delaying having families, which is it is a tragedy for some women who desire motherhood. Others are not interested and more power to them. I think that's excellent as well.

But I don't think that women are out there having children and that's what keeps them from being promoted. That is absolutely false and the data does not support that. And then there's a lot of studies, especially in the business and STEM literature, that that show that when you blind to race and gender, you see a lot more abilities for promotion for women and for employees of color.

And that is a fact. And there's something called the abrasiveness trap as well, where as women go higher in the ranks of leadership and promotion eligibility, their personality and their ability to fit in within that leadership structure becomes very important in their ability to receive or gain that promotion.

And those are things that disproportionately impact women still because of what I mentioned earlier, the gender schema. So gender schema, again, is how we perceive women in society. What do we expect of women and what do we expect of men and how do we think a woman should look and how do we think a man should look differently? And there are potentially some things that are jarring.

For example, if I see a man who is dressed in a skirt or a man that's wearing makeup like that, I will I will notice that, you know, that is not the gender schema that I like. immediately gravitate to. And I enjoy seeing that. I think that is really cool when it happens. But I would be lying if I said that it didn't strike my eye.
