“Our gender pay gap is now around 4%, and our senior leadership is nearly 50/50. But we haven’t stopped there. The top of our organization now reflects the overall workforce, with 60% women in leadership roles. This is a huge win for diversity and inclusion!” Hear more from Stuart Love, Chief Executive of Westminster City Council, on our latest episode of Building Healthy Relationships – The 4 Habits podcasts.

The idea that women aren't fit for political leadership is a big reason why few women are in politics today. Like so many passé ideas, this one needed debunking--and that's just what The Institute for Gender and the Economy sets out to do in their podcast. https://lnkd.in/g88E-YFu #RepresentationMatters

🎧 Podcast Recommendation: "The Gender War Within Gen Z" 🎧 I recently tuned into a fascinating episode of Plain English with Derek Thompson, featuring Alice Evans, a visiting fellow at Stanford University, and their discussion on the evolving political dynamics among Gen Z. The episode dives deep into a significant and intriguing trend: Gen Z women are becoming markedly more progressive, while young men are subtly shifting to the right. This shift isn't confined to the U.S.; it's a global phenomenon affecting Europe, northern Africa, and eastern Asia. Alice Evans and Derek Thompson explore: - The reasons behind the growing gender divide in political preferences. - The rise of "illiberalism" among younger generations, particularly regarding deplatforming conservative voices. - How zero-sum mentalities—seeing societal gains as a finite resource—are influencing these trends. Evans highlights how this divide is not just about political ideology but also about competing visions for social justice and inclusivity. It’s a thought-provoking discussion on how these changes might shape our future. For anyone interested in gender politics, generational shifts, and global trends, this episode is a must-listen.

When technology mediates everything—even identity—it’s not a hard leap to see how we got here. Let’s dive deeper into this crucial discussion. 👇  🎧Listen to the Breakpoint podcast for more clarity in this cultural moment. #CulturalRevolution #GenderDebate #ColsonCenter
