Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.

I believe nobody should be discriminated against.

We can all think we're discriminated against, and I'm sure many of us are. But I see a ton of optimism in corporate America around the advancement and retention of women.
I hate prejudice on any level. I don't care if it's somebody being discriminated against because of the color of their skin or their sexuality or their gender or financial status.
