I give you the female police officer who ran towards the gravest of danger, alone, confronted a rampaging knife man, eliminated the threat, & still managed to administer first aid right after.
If you're looking for a hero today, you need look no further.

Women have a distinct whistleblowing ET experience compared to men. It's likely to be more stressful as women are more likely to self-represent & they are more likely to experience discrimination as part of their detriment which leads to reduced success.

Derby City Council has spent more than £1.5m fighting equal pay disputes with employees according to a FOI request. The council has spent more defending these allegations & avoiding tribunals than they would have done if they had chosen to settle.
