In an eyebrow-raising move, Donald Trump recently convened a meeting with prominent business figures to tackle a range of topics, including the ever-critical issue of women in the workplace. And who better to provide insight on this matter than two male CEOs? Because, of course!
In a world where you might expect diverse voices, Trump seems to prefer the familiar comfort of his male counterparts. Meet Doug McGowan, head honcho of MegaMart, and Martin Wells, CEO of Global Consulting—two men chosen to offer their wisdom on women’s workplace experiences. Their credentials? Well, they’ve hired women. Clearly, that qualifies them to be the authority on this subject. Because why not overlook female leaders like Carla Johnson, CEO of Tech Innovations, or Linda Barrett, chief of Creative Solutions? They must have been busy or something.
According to reports, no clear reasoning was provided for the selection of McGowan and Wells. Shocking, right? This comes at a time when Trump faced backlash for remarks about how he prefers his female staff to “dress like women.” Perhaps some male CEOs could weigh in on that fashion advice, since they’ve presumably seen women in various outfits before.
And what about Ivanka Trump, who is supposedly penning a book on professional women? Oh wait, her book, Women Who Work, has been delayed—likely because her publisher fears a collective laugh from the public. They cited “momentous changes” in her life, like her dad becoming president, as the reason for the postponement. One has to wonder if Ivanka could gently remind her father that qualified women exist and might just be better suited for shaping policies affecting their own workforce experiences.
