File under: double standards 📂 A recent opinion piece questioned #TaylorSwift’s role model status and the backlash was… swift. This is a stark example of the double standards women endure. Her personal life choices, whether it’s whom she dates or her decision not to have children, aren’t grounds for judgment. Men aren’t held to these standards, so why should she be? It’s time to celebrate women for their achievements, not their adherence to outdated societal expectations. While it’s not news that double standards exist, gender double standards actually hurt both men and women. Everyone suffers when society has different expectations simply because of our gender. By continuing to publicly call out gender double standards, we’ll foster communities and workplaces that celebrate everyone for their accomplishments, ambitions, and more!

Presenting new, groundbreaking ideas can be intimidating. Standing behind your work, is imperative. Even though Cecilia Payne's professor eventually admitted that her theory was correct, he never drew attention to the fact that he once rejected it. Instead he published his own "version" of the theory, corroborating Payne's, and it caught on so well in the astronomical community credited him with the discovery. In her autobiography Payne leaves us with some advice: “I was to blame for not having pressed my point. I had given in to Authority when I believed I was right…I note it here as a warning to the young. If you are sure of your facts, you should defend your position.”

25-year old Kayleigh Haggo of Great Britain became the first world champ of the Paralympic sport, frame running, during its 2019 debut in Dubai. She has cerebral palsy, but knowing she can accomplish incredible athletic feats despite this, she works tirelessly to make sure other people with disabilities can pursue sports, too. What an inspiration, on and off the track. We hope to see more of her in Paris this summer! We’re highlighting remarkable #womeninsports history leading up to #Paris2024. Follow along!

In Elizabeth Blackwell’s day, defying her gender role wasn’t the popular choice. But she did it anyway. That is always the most important part of stories like these. She knew what she was up against. She knew it wouldn’t be easy. But she pursued medical school anyway, despite being separated and excluded by peers and professors alike. And her perseverance paid off. She became the first woman to receive a medical degree in America, she focused on areas of care that male doctors had historically neglected, and she took back control by opening her own practice specifically for underprivileged women. What an inspiration and blueprint on perseverance.
