In this current society, cater to women and you will get far.
Powerful men, like CEOs and whatnot. Still listen to their wives. Their wives recommendation and pressure to hire/promote you can help.
When you make a product in a design contest, cater the product around women. My team made a product that was possibly revolutionary (cut the number of invasive surgeries in half for all patients, had a global market share of $14.2 billion, cut production costs by 85%, etc). We lost to a small niche market item cause this one catered to women and pregnancy.
If you're a guy, use a women's pseudonym when pushing products like games. Books, etc. There are so many simps and #thefutureisfemale that they buy anything written by women. Case in point look at what hollywood and companies are doing lately, a lot of things they do are catered towards women and their profits are soaring
