The place I am currently working, men and women are mutually respected. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, so we usually look to each other for help when needed.
However, when I was in culinary school, It was clear that many of the European chefs didn't quite take the female students as seriously as the male. As a result, I made it a point to do anything that I believed was a 'man's job'. Now, years later, I kind of have a reputation for being 'one of the guys', but that's okay. I have not felt discriminated against for quite some time. And I can lift my own 100# bags of flour! |
