Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IT WAS interesting to note that Belinda Brooks-Gordon's report stated: "If a woman made a lot of money for the company and could compete with the men in terms of aggression, trading ability or commitment to the job, then she was classed as one of the boys" ("City gents? Brokers use sexist sliding scale in the office", 9 July).
May it not be concluded that even "sexist" brokers are prepared to treat female co-workers as equals, given the proviso that they demonstrably are equals, at least in terms of the criteria by which male workers' value is judged?
