The question many wonder is do men have an advantage over men in the leadership work force? One cannot know the exact answer to this question because if we said YES , everyone would be sexist. On the other hand if we said NO, then women would look " lazy" because they have no succeeded over men in leadership positions. One can only analyze the facts that we have found since the workforce began.
Obviously, thankfully not in our generation women, were thought of as dumb and could not handle working. Many articles I have seen is simply they thought either women's brains were to small, or they couldn't handle the pressure of working a "man's job." Luckily our generation makes it so that any women can have ALMOST any opportunity a man can have. ( excluding some military work). We have seen the numbers go out for women in a men's usually dominated workforce. This is due to equal opportunity, but I do believe in many people's minds they still view women as less competent for many jobs then men. This is something that is still holding many women back from getting the career's they deserve ( especially in the business world). Until people realize men & women are equal and can do the same job men will always dominate the leadership career field.
Would you hire a man over a women if they had the same work qualities ? ( I ask this because many employers feel a women's emotional state of mind could interfere with leadership making decisions)
Do you think that men have barriers when trying to get into a pink collar job? ( nursing, flight attendant , nanny etc.)
Well to answer your first question is I'm not sure. I'm not being sexist, but I would have to know what job they're going for. If I was running a company that required the worker to do more physical requirements then I would have to hire the man. Even if they have the same qualities on paper you can't really know until the interview. Also a lot of people give flack to the military for not letting women on the front lines or into the special forces. There's two reasons really and they make sense to me. One is that if a woman is in danger most men will risk their lives to save her even if it could kill everybody else on the time. Men tend to be more protective over women and it overrides their decision making skills on the battle fields. I have a buddy that's in combate control special forces and he explained why women can't join in the special forces is not because people think that the military thinks they are physically or mentally inadequate, there's plenty of women that could do it, but it has to do with a woman having a period. You can't send a woman out on a secret mission where they might have dogs that could sniff her out even if they mask their scents and endanger the entire team.
