New values: women are equal players

In US law, women are granted equal rights with men. Business women expect to be treated with the same respect as their male counterparts. They are considered to be equal to men in character and ability. Their gender is considered to be irrelvant in business settings.
It is absolutely inappropriate to make any sexual advances, make suggestive comments, or try to get them to go out for personal time not related to work. Do not treat them like secretaries unless, in fact, they are a secretary. Treat them with the same consideration as you would treat any co-worker.
Unfortunately, gender equality has not yet been fulfilled in the workplace. On average, women earn about twenty percent less than men for the same work, and are many are still held down in pay and position by an unofficial upper limit called the glass ceiling. Women have been gradually breaking through this glass ceiling, and are increasingly holding senior management and board positions within corporations.
