The ‘Pink Collar’ Trap – Corporate Misogyny, Wage Gaps & Office Predators | Rishabh Shukla | Swapnil Saundarya

   

Welcome to the Glass Prison—You Can See the Top, But You’ll Never Reach It

Think corporate life is an equal playing field? Think again. While companies throw around words like “diversity” and “women empowerment,” boardrooms remain boys’ clubs, paychecks are gender-biased, and “harmless office banter” is just thinly veiled harassment.

Women are pushed into “pink collar” jobs—roles that are underpaid, undervalued, and conveniently positioned below the glass ceiling. They do the heavy lifting while their male counterparts take the credit, the promotions, and the bonuses. And when they demand equality? They're called aggressive, bossy, or "too emotional.”

The Pay Gap is Real—And It’s an Insult

Let’s break the myth: women don’t earn less because they work less. They earn less because corporate structures were built to keep them underpaid and overworked.

Women in India earn 19% less than men for the same work.

Globally, for every $1 a man earns, a woman earns 77 cents.

Even in female-dominated industries, men still get promoted faster.

Meanwhile, CEOs proudly announce “equal pay policies” while continuing to lowball female employees in negotiations.

Office Predators Wear Suits, Not Fangs

Women don’t just fight for equal pay—they fight for safety. Corporate offices are filled with hand-on-the-thigh bosses, sleazy HR managers, and “friendly” coworkers who won’t take no for an answer.

Survivors are silenced.

HR protects the predator, not the victim.

Speaking up means risking your career.

The result? Women quit, endure, or get blacklisted. Meanwhile, the abusers keep their power, their salaries, and their reputations.

Enough Lip Service—Time for a Corporate Uprising

If your company calls itself “progressive” but still has a 90% male leadership team, it’s part of the problem.

What Can You Do?

✅ Demand wage transparency—know your worth, negotiate harder.

✅ Call out workplace harassment—protect survivors, not predators.

✅ Support female leadership—mentor, hire, and promote women.

✅ Refuse to accept “just how it is”—because it’s NOT how it should be.

Change isn’t polite—it’s disruptive. Are you ready to disrupt?

Make your Life just like your Dream World !
