Can you point to what experience this man has that makes him the ideal candidate for the role please?

Are you aware of his campaigning against women's rights?

I know they don’t have experience. My question was what if they are actually good at advocating? I advocate for parents without having children so why can’t someone without a uterus advocate for people with endo?

Isnt it ridiculous, full stop.

I never post on these discussions because I’d be afraid to be on the wrong side of the debate. However, I wanted to ask something. What if Steph just really empathises with women with endo despite not having it? Then Steph would be a fine choice, right?

I don’t have children but I’m very passionate about parental rights in the workplace. I can be good on that front without having children so why can’t Steph do this? Genuine question, I’d just be interested to know people’s thoughts.

I just saw this RT'd by Maya - I don't believe that the CEO of a charity has to have direct experience of their charity's primary cause - You could run Alzheimer's Society without having alzheimers yourself... BUT I cannot believe there was not a woman who applied for this role who did not have all the other skills and had (in)direct experience of endometriosis - so why pick Steph??

I just googled the incidence in males and I found 'at least 20' males are recorded as having had it.

So it's not one in 10 people, as we already guessed, who have it. It's one in ten women and one in a huge, massive, humungus number of men.

Can't believe an effing word they say. I won't be giving them a single penny of mine if they can't tell the truth.

Rightsraptor · 12/11/2023 21:16

Why would any medical professional specifically mention endo to Steph? What exactly does Steph think is ridiculous about it? I think there have been under 15 or so documented cases globally of males having it. And literally millions of women.

TeenDivided · 12/11/2023 21:16

So if 1 in 10 people have it that means 1 in 5 women???

Just looked at their website and LinkedIn page. I couldn't see a single mention of 'woman/women' on their LinkedIn posts. This photo is from their website. Says it all.

What do CEOs do anyway?
