You are quite obviously talking hoop. EVERY advert for EVERY job in the UK, whether on the tube, the TV or on billboards has a picture of a smiling strong confident woman, sometimes an ethnic woman, sometimes also with an ethnic man in tow.
Girls are constantly told by teachers that there is nothing they can't do. My sons' headmaster recently appointed TWO head girls for the academic year and quite brazenly told the parents he couldn't find a suitable Year 13 boy so didn't see why he should appoint a head boy. (Try doing the same with two head boys and see how long you last in post...!)
