Onepoint displays its lack of diversity in order to… cure it
“How many women do you think are in this picture?” »
No need to count, David Layani, the founding president of Onepoint gives the answer in his post: 14 women and 89 men. Here is the level of diversity of the partners of this consulting firm. Rather than gargling only about his score (88) on the equality index, the manager is putting his cards on the table: yes, there are very few female partners even though the firm has 40% women. He therefore calls for candidates and undertakes to post a new photo each month. Comedy or sincere commitment? To be continued.
Big salaries still monopolized by men
A few figures are worth more than long speeches. Among the 10% of the highest paid employees, 28% are women and 72% men. The Inequalities Observatory has compiled Insee data and finds that high salaries in the private sector continue to be dominated mainly by men. The “glass ceiling” has barely cracked, since women remain a very small minority among the leaders and in the staffs of large companies.

Two investigative books that lift taboos
1- Words of “girls” in 2022
A woman who says what she thinks is often mocked, because stereotypes want her to be calm, discreet… in the end superficial.
Florence Pagneux
By following the words of over 800 young women in “What our daughters have to tell us. The first post metoo generation » (Editions La Mer Salée, 2022, €20), journalist Florence Pagneux investigates what a society can no longer ignore or tolerate: two thirds of young girls today have been victims of harassment. The survey explores how the me-too movement made them more aware and mature than previous generations. It also reveals their analytical finesse, their benevolence despite injustice, their opinion on feminism, their vision of gender, the professions they aspire to, our girls free themselves from codes.
2- Autopsy of female rivalry
We also recommend “End with female rivalry”, signed Élisabeth Cadoche and Anne de Montarlot (Les Arènes, 2022). The two authors summon history, psychology and biology to help us understand how the internalization of a misogynistic thought and the fear
to come off as “hysterical” prevents women from seeing rivalry as a healthy and natural process.
