Sandberg: Why we have too few women leaders

TED 2010
Sandberg: Why we have too few women leaders (script)
Summary
After reading this article, I felt a little shocked. It's because the speaker said that current situation where is difficult for women to continue working and succeed. She also said that it won't be changed in our generation.
Why we have too few women leaders? She said, "I don't know the right answer. The cause is complicated. We put more pressure on our boys to succeed than girls as a society."
However, she gives us the message what we have to do if we want to stay in the workforce. Her message is that sit at the table, make your a real partner, don't leave before you leave. Believe and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success. Keep your foot on the gas pedal.
And then, she said at the beginning of this talk, "let's start out by admitting we're lucky." I also think so. We live in different ages from our mothers and grandmothers. Our workforce is being changed little by little. It'll be wonderful for both men and women to have a choice to work freely.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Do you believe that men and women are equal? Please support your answer?
No, I don't. It's because  men and women firstly have different brain and body systems. Only women can be pregnant.
2. Are there any differences between the roles of men and women in your country? How are they different?
Yes, there are. Of course, in my country, Japan, salary of men is higher than women in many companies. Tax deduction for dependents adopts for only women who are married.
3. Why do you think there are more male leaders than female leaders?
Male leaders will give the benefits to other male who are around leaders. It means that male think that around themselves, the leaders are  male better than females.
4. Do you think a woman can carry out good leadership responsibilities like men do? Why?
No, beacuse especial Japan, women cannot make thoes good leadership responsibilities. It'll be blocked by men.
5. Are there any famous women leaders in your country? Who are they and what did they contribute to your society?
I think that now, something just is happening like this article. One woman is putting up for the Governor of Tokyo to change how to use money. However, she will be blocked by men who have always said in congress that women must succeed, though. It's because they won't get the benefits.
