Each of these tongue-in-cheek, how-to style films open with text heavy graphics, highlighting the seemingly complex issues surrounding gender equality in the workplace - which to some can seem like a minefield of political correctness. The film then cuts abruptly to an extremely short, live-action scene (1-3 seconds) which demonstrates the solution is actually rather simple. Usually just removing gender from the equation.
There’s a strange double standard in this country. We’ve got a progressive, female Prime Minister - who even became pregnant while in office - but of the businesses that make up New Zealand’s stock market index, only two have female CEOs, and only one has a board of directors made up equally of men and women. This same imbalance is painfully reflected at senior leadership and management levels across the country. The fact that our Prime Minister was asked during her electoral campaign about her baby plans on national news by male interviewers, shows there is a deep-rooted unconscious bias around gender roles. We applaud the achievements of female politicians and female CEOs, but we still call them ‘female politicians’ and ‘female CEOs’. We embrace flexible working hours to help mums come back into the workforce and juggle childcare, but forget that men are parents too.
