00:00My gender and probably my age doesn't make people think that I'm saying something sensible.
00:05So I don't know how to come out of that.
00:07Display results, that's all.
00:09Gender, age, they all become irrelevant in front of performance.
00:16Who is the only person to receive a Nobel doubly?
00:22What she was like 104 years old when that happened.
00:25And that wasn't after all the waves of feminism and post-modernism.
00:33When was that happening?
00:34That was happening when the society and the culture were still more regressive than they are today.
00:41And you know the problems she faced in even getting properly educated.
00:44And yet, a Nobel laureate twice over.
00:47People may have their internal biases, but the external environment is pretty favorable to women.
00:53You are protected economically, legally.
00:57In fact, there is affirmative action.
00:59There is reservation as well of women in various spheres.
01:05A lot of what holds you back is internal.
01:10And we are not denying the fact that people have their biases and all that.
01:13There is deeply embedded sense of male superiority and those things.
01:21We understand that.
01:23But still, there is enough ammunition available for women to now fire.
01:29Even if the odds are still there, yet there is a lot of support as well.
01:35So focus on your performance.
01:38Focus on the results.
