As a former banker, one of the most toxic habits I’m struggling to drop is working late into the night.
Back then, people who packed their bags up to leave office at 5pm were labeled ‘unambitious’. Now I know it is healthy to do so, but changing bad habits can be difficult.

The point is simple, boys & girls should be taught/have access to the same skills right from childhood, & be judged equally for the lack of it. That's how we start to create a more balanced world. It is through our daily biases that we see just how imbalanced our world is.
