I have had both female and male employers, and employed both female and male employees, both in the fashion world, and also in other fields. Just because I've never felt the need to share my experiences on here, doesn't mean I haven't done it. For instance for most of my career I was never employed as a 'designer'. I was mostly involved with buying, and the creative economics of running busiesses with a multi-million pound turn-over, which l increased by over 200% in three years, but that's another story. If I designed for people it was mainly for private clients, or as a favour for one of those female friends who'd laugh at the fact that they should be given differing allowances for being female rather than male.
As stated earlier most women I know personally would be both insulted and demeaned if they were given special privileges and allowances because of their gender.
The world I live in may not be the same as your 'real world' but it is one in which there is equality, backed up by laws to enforce the concept.
I fear we are going to also have to disagree on this point...again, so I'll leave it there.
