I'm really curious to know how you were actually held back from a specific goal?

Im really curious to know some of the responses to this too. I am not going to claim that we are completely equal in all walks of life just yet because i dont believe we are quite there yet but in our average, day-to-day life i just dont happen to be seeing women being held back. I dont see women losing jobs, failing to get a job or frankly any other instance of women actually unfairly losing out on an opportunity or being held back simply for the reason that they are female. If this is not always the case then i would be very interested to hear some stories the women here may have.
