Chances are, according to some research quoted by the BBC News website, that you are female.
Women are said to be more likely than men to suffer feelings of inadequacy at home and at work.
Such conclusions are based on a study of 288 adults - where it was found that a higher proportion of women felt they did not meet their own (I would challenge the idea that we 'own') high standards with family and workplace commitments.
Further specific findings:
- At work, 38 per cent of women did not feel they met the high standards they set themselves, compared with 24 per cent of men.
- When it came to home and family life, 30 per cent of women felt they were failing to meet the standards they wanted to compared with 17 per cent of men.
It should not be forgotten that this is a comparative study between genders and that men are by no means satisfied with the goals they set themselves in life (or come via often quite different strong cultural messages).
