I guess this has been a topic since women have been given the rights to vote. And it has been proven that they can have their own business, established themselves and be successful on whatever venture they want to in their lives. However, it is still a small percentage though as compare to men, maybe women is not willing to take a risk, or maybe the majority will rather stay with their husband to be on their side and help them in their business. You just have to look at the market that we are in, although women is involved, but the most notable are mens, just saying.

Although the percentage of women is still much lower than that of men, it is increasing every day. It shows that women are gradually stepping out of their comfort zone to do things that they were previously judged to be unable to do.

In 2017 I barely saw a female in crypto investing, but in 2021 I was surprised that the admins on telegram groups are mostly female. They have very complete knowledge of the market, they support the community very enthusiastically and are friendly.

It's because whatever men does, women tend to do it and that's just equal.

Yeah, the trend has been for women to be like men (and vice versa, if Hollywood is to be believed), which I find to be unfortunate--but that's another story.

Men have traditionally been the risk takers, the pioneers, which is why so many companies have been founded by men. Take a look at bitcoin's history, too: I haven't read about any early players that were women, and the creation and investment in cryptocurrency was an enormous risk back in 2009-10.

But today? Women have practically no barriers if they want to be entrepreneurs (or anything else for that matter). Then again, I can't speak for venture capitalists and whoever else an entrepreneur has to deal with to get his/her project off the ground. What I do know is that attitudes toward women in business have changed dramatically since at least the 1960s. There are women CEOs, board members, managers, you name it, and companies are practically fighting each other trying to hire women. Their reasons might be suspect, but that's the way it is.

So yeah, I'd say it's up to women themselves if they want to do what men have traditionally done.

You've said it right. True that before, there was disbelief about the capacity of women but today, we're seeing women being empowered in different industries and career paths.

Things really have changed today.

Many women are accelerating in their chosen fields and the same as men, there's equality now and no bias towards their capability of theirs but, we can't do nothing with those countries that still has a huge gap being portrayed by men on their countries towards women.

I think men are more open to risks since there are generally more opportunities open for them even if they say, lose out on one venture or another, in a cultural or vague way, at least that's how I see/feel it. Though now with times changing I wouldn't put it past for women to slowly integrate themselves and grab a part of the industry, or even dominate it in the future. I'm guessing the numbers are still low since women are still in the middle of transitioning over, maybe give it a decade or two.

This varies from one country to another and with different cultures as well. I expect that women in the developed country are more involved in economic business than in developing countries or eastern societies in general. Here in my country, for example, women began to enter the field of business more because of the bad economic conditions and the difficulty of life. They are starting to compete with men in the economic fields, but in the field of crypto there is still very little participation of women here in my country and you find very few women working in crypto.

in every country different rules that the government applies to women but for my own country there are none, so that between women and men have the same rights and there are no special rules, and the impact of the equal rights can be said 35% of macro businesses have been carried out by a woman and most women running micro-enterprises it is 40-45% higher, but basically in business and work men dominate because 70% of women in my country prefer to be housewives
this is my personal opinion by looking at the environment around me

Even today women are given more rights than men. As long as they have the ability and ability to take on the responsibility, they can do anything that we men can do.

The topic of equality, in my opinion, no longer seems to be a matter that is discussed by many people these days, as it used to. Women can do politics and men can become housewives if that is their preference and desire.

The world today has changed, where both men and women are given equal rights and opportunities. If there is a woman who is able to become
an entrepreneur and can live it well, it should be appreciated, because being an entrepreneur has nothing to do with gender issues. But how
the individual can do well and responsibly. It is not surprising now that large companies led by women have emerged or there have even been
women who have become state leaders. So in the end it depends on each individual, in fact I have noticed that many successful female
entrepreneurs have started. In fact, some husbands have chosen to take care of the household at home and let their wives work in the office or
open a business. As you say right now gender equality is not a much talked about topic. Due to the fact that men and women began to get
equal rights, I personally really agree that men and women are given equal opportunities to achieve anything in life.

Yes, got your point, and we have seen women in the financial world as well in the last 20 years so they are really appreciated. And maybe the tide is turning as we hear more women specially in the pandemic, whether big or small being a entrepreneur, going online selling anything that they can think of And we can say that as the internet has also evolved becoming the best marketing and promotional tool that we can utilized, women is on the forefront of it.

As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate?

As always which there's always that kind of gender inequality when it comes to things in between both genders which it isnt already that surprising that there would really be such comparison in regarding on this manner
where men would be always the dominant ones and women would be just always falling in behind but i dont really see much of an issue.When it comes to risk taking then us men is really that have kind of behavior
where we are really that adventurous in all sorts of things but still there are women who could actually do things on what men could do.Just let women decide on where they would be engaging theirselves.
Doesnt matter on how high they would able to attain because in most cases they are really just mostly be staying up on our house to be wives and taking care of our children. Cheesy

Honestly in todays time, we can say that the equality has been there and the problem about the subject of women vs men has started to be off and not sensitive topic anymore.

It's because whatever men does, women tend to do it and that's just equal. But I think, that it's not all about competition but many women won't be a housewife material anymore.

They can do whatever we do and being an entrepreneur, they can do that as well and those that are struggling will do whatever it takes for them to survive.

So, if we see more women shifting into being entrepreneurs, it doesn't really matter IMO.

Women are more empowered these days as they can do equally whatever men are capable to do. Except for heavy construction jobs, but when it comes to entrepreneurship, there are still some women who dominate the world of business because they got more the power and intelligence than men. However, competition is not the focus here, but I believe with both men and women having good skills in entrepreneurship, they can build great partnership for the success of the business.

I have seen women that do some light tasks in construction business. Yeah, not for the heavy but they can do that if they ever want to do it, so there's really no gap anymore when it's all about these jobs that we've got.

Success will depend on they perceive things over it. But women are also pushy with whatever they've started, they want to show to the world that there's no longer a gender bias even if some country still have it.

I think both men and women have an equal chance to succeed in entrepreneurial enterprises, because not all women and men are the same. You get clever open-minded men and women... and also men and women that are struggling. Roll Eyes

There are a lot more factors to keep in consideration to determine if someone will be successful or not... and you cannot simply look at a persons sex to see if they can succeed or not. (Example : Drive / determination / skills / experience / funding resources etc....) Wink

I don't know the reality happening with majority of the women. But I came across an interview in which a women described about the difficulties she have been experiencing just because she's in a role to allocate work for employees. Looking at the gender, many have treated her bad. So, when it comes to Women entrepreneurship there'll be more difficulties. Women need to prepare herself and be ready to face everything, only then it'll be good and possible to go high in the men dominant sector.

Like @DrBeer firstly said on this thread, thankfully nowadays people have freedom and right to work on the field they want, pursuing the career and lifestyle they think it's the most benefical and rewarding for themselves.

Based on current economic situation in the world. The rate of poverty is increasing and women has to work to support the men especially in countries that are majorly patriarch countries that originally didn't give women the chance to work and contribute to family financial challenges. Those countries that religated women to the background and kitchen for just cooking, giving birth and taking care of home front plus the husband. But now things have started to changed and thanks to the economic realities of the world.

Women Emancipation is the major change that has touched the world and the first agent of that is education. Education has revolutionised the women in the society to seek for equal rights with the men and developed countries have since adopted women in their liberal minds.

It's really not about men vs. women being more successful businesspeople. It's more about who uses their brains more.

For example, there are a lot of guys who just follow on all hype from Silicon Valey, which pops when there is any economic recession like there is now. So there are men and women out there who are forced to rack their heads to think of innovative solutions to problems, that beat the market.

E.g. if you are trying to sell your business on Shark Tank then there is probably something wrong with your business model.

And a larger proportion of businesswomen do this more, simply because there is a smaller population of them compared to businessmen.

There is no comparison between woman and a man intensive business strategies or business plan so I believe selectively that man Audi engine house of business the success of Man in a business cannot be used on bed to success of woman in a business because women does not take business constantly serious why why men very well but without the maintenance and the carefulness of their business they won't survive by feeding their family at the members of their family

Women these days are knowledgeable enough to do whatever men can do in all fields including entrepreneurship. As for me, women are more goal focused and willing to acquire more skills to reach more milestones. However, success is for everyone regardless of the gender. Things will only differ on one's perseverance and willingness to strive success despite of the challenges, especially in businesses nowadays that we suffer from the global economic crisis.

I want to start a discussion highlighting some points I read online regarding women as compared to men in entrepreneurship and the chance of success.

Quote

Men and women do not prepare for the launch of their business in the same way. The number one preparatory activity for women is specific training (43.3% versus 31.8% for men). Men are looking for potential clients (45.8%) and writing a business plan (42.5% versus 34.6% for women).

Market research is carried out by about 1/3 of men and 1/4 of women.

Women entrepreneurs are much less experienced than their male counterparts: 37.5% have less than 3 years of experience versus 25.7% of men.

82.5% of women start businesses alone (compared to 69.8% of men)

Men consider that they are more entrepreneurial than women (84.7% of men against 72% of women)

Men have much more confidence in the future than women (48.2% of women vs. 64.7% of men)

Men are clearly more confident in the success of their company than women: 72.4% versus 65.3

There are far more unemployed women than men among entrepreneurs: 25.9% versus 16.9

Women are 3 times less likely than men to have already tried the adventure of creating a business: only 5.3% of women had already created a business against 18.4% of men

As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate?

It's a very interesting set of statistics and shows that there is still a little bit of balancing up to do, but progress in gender equality is strong in this field. Some traits may just be more deeply ingrained in the two different genders, like women being less arrogant about the potential success of a venture or perhaps on the last statistic - they are more likely to keep pushing at one particular type of business until it reaches success than a man who might be more switchable (which can potentially be a positive or a negative). Being more confident in success is not necessarily a positive trait in men, because it can often breed unnecessary or extra risk taking along with more wasteful behavior.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

In this 21st century women have more knowledge so they have awareness about becoming an entrepreneur can give the financial freedom but from my observation majority of them or not willing to come out of their comfort zone so called salary which is like they are more conservative and not ready to take high risky decision because it may even affect their family as well but over time everything will change so one who have the skills will become one irrespective of what gender they are.
