• Explores realities between theoretical & practical developments in the advancement of gender equality in professional organizations. Gender inequality, understood to be a hindrance to the ultimate potential advance of any organization, has long been the target of theories & approaches aiming to help organizations restructure to allow for optimal gender equality & integration performance. However, it is often the case that even when these theories move beyond the rhetorical & into the realm of real institution, their ideal is not fully realized because of factors that make for only a partial implementation & therefore permit old ways of thinking to compromise the envisioned restructuring. In any such restructuring, both masculine & feminine roles undergo a change of definition & thus of application toward assignments that have stereotypically been predominantly associated with a given gender. Some of the facets of these mutations are detailed here. To potentiate a thorough change in gender roles & equality that would benefit both men & women as well as the organizations they work for, it is imperative to encourage further work that gains a deeper recognition of the actual symbols, structures, & practices that impact gender difference in all technical & organizational dimensions
