It’s not unlikely to have these kinds of shifts in these circumstances.

So, because in an industry that is very sexist in favor of men, having one company that doesn’t have the same bias in favor of men is proof of bias towards men. You’re basically saying that it’s a normal and acceptable default for an industry to favor men but discrimination when one company does not favor men. OOkay…

A-fucking-men!

The presence of qualified men doesn’t indicate a lack of qualified women. Try to keep up.

Because that is par for the course, guy. I work for a major international financial institution and you know how many women we have in senior mgmt positions? Out of 6500 employees world wide, we have ONE woman at that level. Just trying to give you some perspective on what is normal, perhaps you are not from the US?

“...the lawsuit said.”

What if the men in management positions were really shitty at working with a female boss?

The difference here is that for a very, very long time (a time that continues today in many cases), less competent and frankly, in competent men are hired in place of more competent and qualified women. It has been studied and proven many times over that hiring managers -both male and female- often have an unconscious…

Men when it happens to women: I guess you just weren’t qualified. Maybe they were worried about you taking maternity leave, that’s very costly for a company! Are you sure it’s because you’re a woman I mean your boss has a daughter I’ve never seen him do anything sexist. Sexism doesn’t even exist in the US anymore just…

Lol, ok.

I know how lawsuits work. I have no idea if this one has merit. And yes, I’m for equality, which means—stay with me now, ‘cause this one might hurt—some men are not going to get to be in the positions they want, because women will have them instead. So again, equality is going to look and feel “unfair” to a lot of men…

Equality means that some of the top companies are going to have a majority female upper management just like some of the top companies have a majority male management. Consider how many companies out there keep the upper echelons of their staff almost entirely male (including Yahoo only a year and a half ago) and…

You never show empathy to us in the first place and now you expect us to give a shit. laughable. Besides these dudes still have to prove it was their gender that was discriminated against and not shitty attitudes at having a woman doing their job better.

That stood out to me too, then I kept reading:

This all day. Funny how men are all now it’s a problem if women were given a bit of an edge. What if the men in management positions were really shitty at working with a female boss? I could definitely see that.

But not a problem anyone gave a shit about. Get over it. Men think when women talk equally in conversation they are dominating it. Get used to having females in leadership roles & don’t whine like a little baby. Suck it up buttercup.

So where was this guy’s lawsuit when the top managers were 80% male?

Why wasn’t the 80/20 statistic shocking when it was 80 percent men?

The opposite has always been true: At least 80 percent of top managers being men. How come it’s a problem now?

Cry me a fucking river. This is going to happen more and more as men in traditionally overwhelmingly male industries, where they’ve been free to talk over and dismiss their colleagues, look around and notice more women running about, giving orders, getting ahead, and being taken seriously. Suck it up. Equality feels…
