SF: 'I work at Executive level and can tell you that in those positions men are infinity better 90% of the time at least.'

Whoah!! Prejudice alert!

I also worked at executive level for many years and I can tell you that, 100% of the time at least, such an observation is rubbish. However, I have come across attitudes like yours among a few too many women I've dealt with professionally.

Methinks you might be, as Jane Austen wrote 200 years ago, ‘one of those … ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the other sex by undervaluing their own, and with many men, I dare say, it succeeds. But, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art.’

If you’re so convinced that women are infinitely inferior to men ‘in those positions’, then that’s all you’re ever going to see, whatever women do or however well they do it.

Do try reading for heavens sake.!! What a twerp

I am not trying in any way, shape or form to "to recommend myself to the other sex by undervaluing my own"

That mate is how it is. I am more than confident in my own abilities, thank you than to put any one down. Women just don't cut it, aggression is not in the nature of women in general.

SF And Killarney

I spend a lot of time recruiting, and in my experience women and men are equally likely to be suitable for a position. That’s why I conclude that a group of 19 individuals including just one woman cannot have been selected on merit alone.

It depends on the type of position, but I find usually the recruitment fields aren’t full of qualified candidates, especially for senior roles – if you are lucky, there are 2 or 3 standout candidates, sometimes not even that.

In what kind of job is "aggression" a recommendation?
