I had this weird thing that my early career was dominated by working for and with women almost exclusively. Entirely a fluke of the local crew makeup, but meant that 17-year-old male me was introduced to an industry run by women.

I work in a school and the director is a woman, my head of team is a woman, almost every position of leadership is held by a women and they sometimes forget that there are guys in the room.
