The use of lipstick in the ad is a symbolic choice that subverts traditional gender roles. Lipstick, often seen as a symbol of femininity, is used here to grab the attention of men and challenge their perceptions. By associating a traditionally feminine product with a message about gender equality in the workplace, the ad breaks down gender stereotypes and encourages viewers to think beyond superficial divisions. Moreover, the ad's placement of the real message in the small print is a clever tactic that rewards attentive viewers. It encourages the audience to look beyond the surface and examine the ad's deeper meaning. This approach mirrors the need for society to look beyond superficial gender differences and recognize the inherent worth and potential of all individuals, regardless of their gender. #LOrealEquality #WeAreAllWorthIt #GenderEquality #EqualityInTheWorkplace #WomenInLeadership #BreakingStereotypes #ChallengeGenderRoles #EmpowerWomen #GenderDiversity

Despite progress in music, many girls still shy away from instruments like drums and bass, influenced by outdated stereotypes and industry biases. Female musicians often face undue scrutiny and pressure to conform to traditional roles, deterring them from exploring these instruments. Yet, breaking these molds is crucial for change. With role models in alternative and rock scenes, it's time to encourage young girls to pursue their passion, regardless of the instrument, and challenge the outdated norms that limit their musical journeys.

👨🏼🏫 In a recent conversation with someone I have a high level of respect for, I was reminded it isn’t only women who need the education and support in this department. This post is for the husbands, the boyfriends, the brothers, the cousins, the partners, the significant others or anyone who feels the pressure of needing to know, and not knowing, and has shame or insecurity around not knowing what society has expected them to know. ⚙️⚙️⚙️ 👨🏻👧🏻Historically, as women, we have relied on men to handle “all things car related”. If we were lucky our fathers handled it growing up, and some may have taught us some small things to get us by. However, not all sons had fathers who taught them everything they needed to know. 👩🏻❤️💋👨🏼 Have we ever thought about the pressure that puts on men who are expected to know, and don’t? How that may make them feel inadequate or not good enough? If I put myself in their position for a minute, it’s just one more thing they are being judged on in the “being manly enough” category. 💪🏼 I believe everyone has their own strengths, and one of my strengths is compassion. ♥️ I’m sorry society has made the mechanical aspects of life into a traditional gender role belonging to men and only men. That’s a heavy expectation to carry. Let me help you carry it. 🙌🏻 🧮 I am not only here to support women. I am here to support human beings. If you don’t know what to do when you’re buying a car, or when you’re servicing a car, or just don’t feel like you have a good grasp about how any of it works… ask me. If you don’t feel like it adds up, I will help you check your math, and more importantly, I will not judge you for it. ➕➖🟰 . . . #WomenSupportingMen #InclusiveCollaboration #FeminineMen #AutoEnthusiasts #EngineeringTogether #WomenInScience #NonBinaryInclusion #ChallengeGenderRoles #MenInNeed #CarHelp #BreakingStereotypes #GenderEquality #CollaborativeSpirit #InclusiveTech #DiversePartnerships #EmpowerEveryone #CarEnthusiast #SupportEachOther #BreakTheMold #DrivingChange

"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition," is a harmful and unjust assertion that dismisses the efforts and achievements of women in various aspects of life. It is essential to recognize the importance of gender equality and the need to empower and support women in their endeavors. Women are equally capable of achieving their goals and contributing to society, and they deserve the same opportunities and respect as men. #Feminism #GenderEquality #Sexism #Misogyny #WomenEmpowerment #EqualOpportunities #Intersectionality #Diversity #Inclusion #GenderBias #BreakingStereotypes #WomenInLeadership #GlassCeiling #EmpowerWomen #EndDiscrimination #ChallengeGenderRoles #RiseUp #SmashThePatriarchy #FightingForEquality #NoMoreMisogyny #StrongWomen #EqualityForAll #WomenCanDoAnything #TogetherWeCan

#Gender | “If we really want future generations to flourish and not indulge in discrimination and violence against others, it is critical to sensitise them early. We often underestimate what children are capable of. We think that a child is bereft of any skill until they receive formal education, but children learn to talk, sing, dance, and even lie by just observing the people around them.” Read about a day in the life of Nevish, a non-binary activist from Gorakhpur who teaches young children about gender sensitivity and works on environmental awareness and education in the city.

#Gender | “What does it mean to be a man in India today?” This is the question that guided a study commissioned by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies earlier this year. The study involved a total of eight online focus groups with participants from SEC A and SEC C/D (two distinct parts of the socio-economic spectrum), living in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi, and it sought to explore the anxieties and challenges young men and boys face vis-à-vis their role in relationships. The young men and boys in these focus groups spoke extensively about the weight of responsibility, which includes becoming the family’s provider, displaying “acceptable” emotions, achieving material success, and maintaining an “honourable” image. They also highlighted how the high expectations from them results in them being monitored intensely and punished if they fail to meet them. Read this article by Ashutosh Wakànkar (@washutosh) and Richa Chhabra (@richunderconstruction) from Cracker and Rush (@crackerandrush), who unpack the findings of this study on the anxieties and challenges experienced by young men and boys in urban India. *This is the fourth article in a 4-part series supported by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies.

#IGLive | Join us this Wednesday (Sept 7th) at 4:30 PM, as we talk to Sagar Sachdeva from The YP Foundation (@theypfoundation) about masculinities in India. Sagar will be helping us learn more about: 1. The current perception of masculinity in social impact spaces in India, and why we need a more intersectional lens. 2. What we need to do to center the lived realities/intersectional identities of young men and boys in our work with them. 3. The voices that aren't being considered in our current discourse on masculinities in India. 4. What it might look like to think of masculinities from a pleasure and care point of view, instead of focussing soley on violence. Sagar has worked in the development sector for four years towards building spaces and processes that facilitate dialogues on gender and masculinities among young men. At TYPF’s Mardon Wali Baat programme, his work involves creating interactive models of engaging with young men and boys by approaching masculinities and violence through an intersectional lens. . . . . #instagramlive #masculinity #masculinities #indianmasculinity #genderprogramming #genderjustice #feminist #feminism #intersectional #heforshe #intersectionalfeminism #genderinequality #patriarchy #gendernorms #challengegendernorms #challengegenderroles #inequality #mindsetchange #intersectionalidentities
#IDRMostRead | This week we are showcasing some of our most read articles from the last quarter. Here are articles five and six, of ten. 1. On April 8, 2022 the Supreme Court decided that no-one -- be it an individual or organisation -- had a fundamental right to accept foreign donations. To understand the background of this verdict, the myths that might have influenced it, and it's implications, read this article by Sanjay Agarwal. 2. Since the early 1990s, there have been gender programmes that work with men to address issues around violence against women. However, the importance of working with men, when it comes to issues of gender, is far greater than addressing violence alone. In this article, observations from a two-year study of gender programmes working with men and boys are shared. (This article has been supported by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies).

#Gender | Since the early 1990s, there have been gender programmes that work with men to address issues around violence against women. However, the importance of working with men, when it comes to issues of gender, is far greater than addressing violence alone. ‘Male engagement’ programmes refer specifically to programmes that work with men and boys on gender equality. In 2019, Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies commissioned a study to understand the impact of these programmes. The study found that while the benefits of working with men are clear, there is an increasing need to start younger. To know about the key findings of this study and how male engagement programmes can benefit both men and women, read the full article at the link in our bio. * This post is sponsored by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies. . . . . . #genderjustice #womensrights #feminist #feminism #intersectional #heforshe #intersectionalfeminism #womenempowerment #empower #empowerher #empowerment #genderinequality #violenceagainstwomen #womenrepresentation #womeninpower #womensupportingwomen #womeninparliament #empoweringwomen #patriarchy #gendernorms #challengegendernorms #challengegenderroles #inequality #mindsetchange #india #teachthemyoung #teachtheboys
#BuildTogether | To build a feminist world, we need to work with young boys and men. We need to help them hold themselves accountable for their privileges, while also creating spaces for them to safely explore their identities. In an attempt to do just that, @thegenderlab launched a series of online workshops for teachers, educators and other people working with children. Titled 'How We Raise Our Boys', the workshops were multilingual and aimed to build collective knowledge around gender and masculinity.

The chapter includes a picture of a boy with coloured hair and the other of a kid playing football. The chapter poses a question to the students about the existing gender stigma in the society by asking if colouring hair relates to a girl and playing football resembles a boy. The chapter attempted to educate the children by challenging the gender roles that boys and girls in our society are burdened with. It explained “how the traditional roles played by men and women in the society are changing” and showed “how being a boy or a girl is not a barrier for any occupation.” The post shared by a Facebook user Mamta Sharma Das is being lauded by many social media users for instilling gender-inclusive values among the young minds of children from an early age. A user, however, also pointed out that the effort to challenge gender stereotypes needs to be consistent, “That’s truly awesome…only worry is that these changes should not remain limited to the theoretical expressions…may our next gen truly live these changes in practicality as well.” Report: Bhavya Saini #stpnews #shethepeople #genderstereotypes #challengegenderroles #schooltextbook #breakstereotypes
Happy International Women’s Day!!! ~ It makes me both happy and sad that this holiday exists. It’s great that things are changing but it’s sad that the need for holidays such as this came from mass repression and persecution. It is my belief that people should learn to show and feel gratitude for everything they have to begin with, rather than it becoming a necessity out of centuries of denial and judgment. For example, International Men’s Day has been around since 1999 but International Women’s Day was first celebrated in 1909! ~ There is a massive imbalance in our world and within ourselves. We all have both Divine Masculine and Feminine within us, but we have learned to repress healthy aspects of both. Men can’t be too Feminine. Women can’t be too Masculine, or Feminine, depending on your upbringing. And who decided what was feminine or masculine? Who decided men shouldn’t wear pink or purple because these are "feminine colors"? It may seem harmless at first but this is where repression begins; telling our children what they can and can’t wear. ~ These ideas have been so ingrained in us that we have forgotten the Pure Beings we came into this world as. For most of us in this country gender role repression began before we could talk or walk. It began the moment someone mistook us for a boy or girl and our parents, or family members, were offended. ~ I’m so grateful at the way younger people are challenging gender roles, but I also recognize the need to have sacred spaces for us to gather with others of our chosen gender to reconnect and reflect. Anyone who identifies as a Woman, Non-Binary, or just wants to connect with their Sacred Feminine is welcome at my Circles. I do want to start doing Co-Ed Full Moon Circles regularly, but am unable to at this present time. ~ #challengegenderroles #beyourself #internationalwomensday #knowthyself #womenscircle #womenscircles #allinclusive #allincluded #practicenonjudgement #wearwhatyoulove #wearwhatyouwant #dresscrazy #livewisely #judgenot #goldenrule #donoharm #ifitharmnonedowhatyouwill #divinemasculine #divinefeminine #divinebalance #innerpeace #dontjudgeabookbyitscover #dontjudgechallenge

Unprotected @theebillyporter is utterly heartbreaking.

Day 12 action for #16DaysofActivism let’s reflect on who does certain chores in our households and why. Did you know there’s strong evidence that points to rigid, traditional and stereotypical gender roles as one of the key drivers of violence against women? Traditional constructions of masculinity and femininity can often support attitudes of male entitlement and dominance. Examining power and inequality in relationships is an essential part of violence prevention. This report explores the gendered impact of COVID-19 and highlights the experiences of women in Victoria with work, family and remote schooling during lockdown. #16DaysCampaign #RespectIs #CallitOut #ChallengeGenderRoles https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/2021/sep/covid-lockdowns-deepening-gender-inequality
As part of our retrospective exhibit Marilyn Andrews: Works in Clay, Salmon Falls Gallery is auctioning off “Untitled”, ceramic sculpture, 1983 by Marilyn Andrews and Andrew VanAssche. This piece will be auctioned to benefit “Out Now”, a Springfield based youth group empowering LGBTQ youth for the last 21 years. Andy and Marilyn explored gender roles in their own marriage, then proceeded to discard them entirely. This pieces is a reflection of that with the “x” through the symbolic man and woman in the corner of the piece. Andy reflected on how the subject is very relevant to today’s world, where categorization in terms of gender is questioned, and ideally discarded as well. In fitting with the beneficiary of the auction, Out Now, it’s important to note that not only are gender roles meant to be fluid and changeable, but gender itself can be fluid and changeable. Out Now provides among other things, an important support for young gender non-conforming youth. Whether seen as challenging gender roles or gender itself, this piece by Marilyn and Andy reflects important, relevant, meaningful topics and is a beautiful memory from a “non-traditional” relationship. - - You may bid on this piece throughout the time the pice is up through the end of October. You may place a bid in person, by phone at 413.625.9833, or by emailing the gallery.

So today's post is Number 2 in an occasional ( and tongue in cheek) series.."What's good about living in the patriarchy"... Women....are you inept with power tools, don't know your axles from your elbows, does flat pack furniture reduce you to a sobbing mess, have you ever asked random strangers to park your car ( in fairness, that might just be me).... Fear not my lovelies... The patriarchy loves to see women as not properly grown up, they rejoice in your powerless....and yup, you will be patronised, over charged and mansplained...but who's standing on the hard shoulder changing the tyres..... Sadly...boys who are equally inept/uninterested don't get this privilege...you unfortunately will need to be able to kick tyres, have opinions on DIY and of course cook barbecue.... No one ever said that the patriarchy was fair or fun.... Peace Out and happy Thursday y'all Photo courtesy of @photographyandrewlee Outfit details....

Dear Men, Here's why you might be struggling in love... ♡ You're a great guy, but you have weak or no boundaries ♡ You're successful in your own right, but you waver in confidence and self-worth around relationships. Asking yourself "What should I do...?" ♡ You want to have a loving, deeply committed relationship but you don't really know what that is, or where to start. So let's change that. ♡ Because YOU can get clear on your boundaries and where they are most required. ♡ You can develop a healthier mindset and build tools to increase your confidence and self-worth. ♡ And you can understand the foundational elements of having a healthy relationship, including healthier conflict and greater intimacy. The key to having loving and successful relationships is not only knowing what that actually is but having the confidence that you can achieve it.

We make badass pregnancy and ovulation tests, but that's not all. We give back to our community a lot because dismantling the patriarchy is the cornerstone of our business. Our giving philosophy at Juliet is rooted in power and care. We give because we know maternal healthcare outcomes are equitable and want to be part of solving the problem. We share because we know that we're better together. We donate because we're creating the type of world we want to live.
How do you awaken your healthy masculinity? With love, Kimberly
Love is like fire. We can use it to heal, to build, to create legacies of art, safety, prosperity & warmth. But there is always the risk of getting burned. Too many men hold back in romantic relationships because of past scars. (too many people in general) Or they avoid the deep emotional pain of healing because it has become easier to disconnect from themselves and others. 👆Maybe this is you or you’re dating someone like this. The tragic side of this is that they live with the scars even though they are seeking to avoid them and the pain crops up out of nowhere or deters them from experiencing the romance they truly want. When in reality, the only hope for creating & sustaining true, deep, passionate love is by going straight into the fire of pain from a place of compassionate curiosity. You MUST feel if you want to grow. You MUST feel in a healthy and directed way so the guilt, shame, resentment, frustration, or judgment do not overtake you or cloud your future. This is part of the work I do. I guide people to see their unwanted patterns clearly and trace the lines of their pain to the point of origin from their childhood and express the emotion so fully and completely. Beyond any kind of therapy or work you’ve done thus far, because if you don’t have the results you want, it is still there. Because at the bottom of all the feelings you don’t want to feel is pure power, love and freedom!! It’s ironic but it has been the truth for countless people. This is the place where new welds are made. Where transformation occurs. And it’s from this place, one can move through any challenge in their life and relationships romantic or otherwise with presence, strength, ease and compassion. In this place you come to truly know and love EVERY aspect of yourself and in turn others. You become a fearless leader. The embodied masculine man that impacts the world in a positive way. Being You & Sharing your full heart becomes something you live for, scars and all. That’s why I am so passionate about this work. 🔥🔥🔥 Photo of me eating fire! Not part of my coaching. ☺️ it’s a hobby.
Men, never be afraid to acknowledge your needs. If that is attention, ask for it. If it's physical touch, ask for it. If it's something else, ask for it. You deserve to feel desired. With love, Kimberly
❤️Lunch Break Meditation Treat yourself! Your relationship with YOU is your greatest asset! You are what you attract. This means that you have the power to improve your romantic relationships by building a healthy relationship with yourself first! In this meditation I guide you to experience states of bliss, joy and love in sensory detail, including the actual sounds of the ocean waves crashing on the beach in my hometown Venice, California.

@mr_impact24 Zerek, father, husband, and personal coach, joined me this evening to talk about masculinity (healthy and misconceived). He shared how he has learned to communicate with himself, his wife, his children, and the world by acknowledging and expressing feelings, being committed to bringing the best version of himself, while maintaining his own sense of identity, power and values. Thank you Zerek for being a living example of the unity between healthy masculine and feminine. #masculineenergy #endtoxicmasculinity #mensmentalhealth #positiveaffirmations #challengegenderroles #mentalhealthadvocate #selfgrowth #endthestigma #mentalfreedom #consciousmasculinity #divinemasculine #youareloved #youareworthy #selfworthmovement #highselfesteem #valueyourself #lawofattraction #controlyourthoughts #positivemindpositivelife #mensmentalhealthawareness #spreadpositivity #yourfeelingsarevalid #talkaboutit #mensemotionalwellness #relationshipadvice #datingtip #datingapp #onlinedating #faithfulmen

CHOOSETOCHALLENGE On International Woman's Day, the Harbour Inn & Bowmore Distillery Cottages team would like to shine a spotlight on Mel Douglas, as we #choosetochallenge gender inequality by supporting woman to develop in male-dominated professions. Mel is pursuing her ambition to be a chef - in a profession where only 17% of posts are held by woman. Mel Douglas joined the Harbour Inn as part of the Front of House team after initially applying for a post in the kitchen. Mel showed clear motivation and ambition to become a chef and in 2019 moved into a Commis Chef role. This same year, with the support of her head chef, Mel started her Modern Apprenticeship in Professional Cookery. When the Covid-19 pandemic shut the business this did not deter Mel from continuing to progress. While on furlough, she independently reached out to her tutor and completed her studies and practical work from home in her own kitchen. We are all looking forward to seeing Mel continue to develop when the business reopens and she is able to showcase her skills. When you are able to dine with us again, make sure to ask for Mel's special of the day. #commischef #chefsofscotland #choosetochallenge #beamsuntory #bowmore #edringtonbeamsuntory #challengegenderroles #visitscotland #visitislay #femaletalent #professionalchef #internationalwomensday @beamsuntory

AMEN to this! ❤️
Are you joining me tomorrow? I sure freaking hope so! If you've ever been curious about the kind of progress you can make with a coach, then I encourage you to join me tomorrow for FREE and LIVE training on: 👉🏽 The 5 Mistakes Men Are Making In Dating & Relationships and How To Overcome Them There is no BS in this training, it's REAL mistakes men are making, and what you can begin doing today to overcome them. And the whole point of learning this is so that you can show up more confidently and achieve the relationship you truly desire. Because more important than your happiness? For me, it was many years of trial and error. And that only works until your patience runs out. And it ran out already. 🙄 But your brain might be finding objections as to why this training isn't for you. They might sound like... ▪️ I'll look into relationships later when I feel more ready ▪️ My relationship isn't so bad ▪️ I have other things to work on first ▪️ I just need to choose a better partner ▪️ I am not interested in dating yet ▪️ I'll do it when I feel more settled And sadly, all of those objections leave you in the exact same place as you are today. And none of those excuses will actually move you forward towards having the relationship you truly crave. So whether you're single now, or in a relationship, whether things are "kind of okay", or "not so okay", you are going to learn some insight that is going to MOVE you forward, and help you reduce anxiety, overthinking, dissatisfaction and wasted time. And...help you gain: confidence, clarity and happier relationships. Grab a seat, it's free, and it will be fun. Link in Bio or sign up here: bit.ly/3pwSflU See you on Friday! K xx
It's easy to get into a cycle of all of these bad habits. But which are you willing to let go of to make room for more energy, and more positivity in your life?

During winter and the holiday season, it's easy to romanticize our past relationships.b But it's okay to miss our ex's and not want them back! K xx
So many people ask me..."Kimberly, why are you a Men's Coach, and what inspired YOU to do this?" And the truth is, my answer takes many shapes and forms. But here it is short and simple: I love to support others to feel connected and confident in life and love. "But Kimberly, why MEN? I mean, you ARE a woman after all..." "Well yes, last time I checked!" 😉🌹 And my response is...why not? Is it that strange to have a woman supporting men? You see, men ask me this because it is not COMMON what I do, and that's exactly how I KNOW it is needed: 📌 I choose to support men because I feel connected to doing it 📌 I choose to support men because I worked with men for 10 years in Finance, and I witnesses the internal struggle many of them face balancing work and love and confidence and masculinity 📌 I choose to support men because I fkn love showing up, serving and growing 📌 I choose to support men because I KNOW this is my calling, and whether it makes sense or not, that's not the point 📌 The point is, I choose to be different, I choose to show up and stand up and do what other's don't 📌 I choose to support men, who often have a lack of healthy supportive and caring females in their lives (toxic parents, toxic relationships, toxic friends...) 📌 I choose to support men because men often have LESS support than women (so here I am, filling in that gap!) And I do this because I can teach men to stand in their masculinity, while also being: ⭐ deeply loving ⭐ deeply connected ⭐ and emotionally vulnerable And I hold a safe space for their emotions, growth and lives. Is it time for you to get support? I invite you to send me a DM if you'd like to learn about how I can help you find clarity, build your confidence and find your balance in life and love. - K xx
If someone upsets you, it's okay to tell them. K xx

Many of us struggle with having healthy relationships. We get so committed to our bad habits and patterns of choosing the wrong person and we forget to really address what's holding us back. We hide out truths from our partners, suppress our real emotions and then end up in awful arguments or lean out from our relationships because they just don't "feel right." We lose touch with our values and what we need. We become people-pleasers with a lot of anger and resentment hidden underneath. It's only when we really start to break down the walls, learn the healthier habits and choose ourselves that we can fully love and be loved. If you are ready to start authentically loving, then you'll want to sign up for my course Confident in Love. We are going to spend the next 8 weeks uncovering and healing the patterns that are blocking us from deeper love, and then learning everything you wish you were taught 3 relationships ago.

When many of us start some of the inner work, we believe we have to get to some level of "perfection" and then everything will work out okay, but this is not the case. What is perfection? We will always have past hurt, memories and things to become better at, so remember that you do not need to be perfect to be loved. K xx
