There is a recent addendum on that topic - turns out that what has stopped some women in the work force is feminism and the sexual harassment lawsuit happy culture:

Well done, feminism. Now men are afraid to help women at work
News that men are too fearful of a trip to HR to help out their female colleagues is final proof that the gender equality project has backfired, writes Martin Daubney

Of course they sell it as "help", but it's actually more serious. Women are finding it ever harder to expect any sympathy AND what is more important - they cannot network upwards and this is a big problem. Anyone with some awareness in the corporate structure knows that it is always helpful to network with the upper management hierarchy - not only your own company but others as well. Joint dinners, joint tennis matches or golf days - even joint visits to the strip clubs or brothels are still normal in certain industries. Now those men for the life of them would never ever let women be part of that group. Any joke or any comment may be viewed as sexual harassment. So it turns out that ever more managers not only have stopped networking with women, but they don't even want to be in a room with them with closed doors.

The article also does not mention that, but the old corporate advancement ladder of fucking yourself to the top is highly diminished by lawsuit culture. Corporate America is not missing chairman Ellen Pao and their brigades of crazies.

Quote:

Feminism is essentially destroying the advancement paths in senior management even more. A new book claims that male office workers are now so afraid of being on the receiving end of a sexual harassment case, they are reluctant to mentor, assist, befriend and even hold open doors for female colleagues. Crushingly, Sex & The Office suggests men now view such ordinary, decent behaviours as “too risky” – and, in what will be a bitter irony for equality campaigners – claims that, as a direct consequence, women are now failing to advance at work.

Quote:

Ludicrously, Elsesser cites examples of men who have been dragged in by their HR departments for simply opening a door for a female colleague or complimenting her on a new suit. “Stories like these spread around workplaces, instilling a fear that innocent remarks will be misinterpreted,” she says.
No s**t, Sherlock!

sexist shitlord - also you might want to lower your gaze or this will be viewed as aggravated sexual assault

Quote:

A phrase involving “cake and eat it” leaps to mind – although don’t repeat it at work, as you’ll probably be frogmarched to HR for “fat shaming”.

Haha - the author the article is getting the hang of it.

Quote:

The writer, Naomi Schaffer Riley, paints a depressingly familiar picture of university lecturers who won’t even close their office doors when alone with a female student.
It would be easy to dismiss this as yet more campus lunacy, yet Riley claims this rot runs to the very top of American society. And how soon before we start feeling ripples cross the Pond?
Riley cites a US National Journal survey where a male Congress aide said: “Several female aides have been barred from staffing their male bosses at evening events, driving alone with their congressman or senator, or even sitting down one-on-one in his office for fear that others would get the wrong impression.”
In a lawsuit-happy culture, where claims can seemingly be made on a 'he said/she said' basis, men are now trying to ensure their actions are always covered by a third party witness. Increasingly, they want to make sure the walls have ears – just in case something “inappropriate” is said.

This will only increase. Maybe they will open extra offices for women, so that they can feel "safe".

Quote:

How sad. And, honestly, who’s got the foggiest clue about where “inappropriate” even begins these days? Holding open a door? Saying, “nice dress?” Smiling? Making eye contact?
By carrying on like this we are nurturing and mollycoddling victimhood and it is having profound impacts. Last month in Britain, “fearless feminist” barrister Charlotte Proudman publicly shamed Alexander Carter-Silk, 57, a senior solicitor, for complimenting her “stunning” LinkedIn profile picture – then claimed it was her career that had been “ruined”.
Amid this poisonous smog of mutual mistrust and, increasingly, contempt, is there any wonder men are becoming fearful of female co-workers?
Above all, Sex & The Office is proof, if any were needed, that The Great Workplace Equality Project has spectacularly backfired. Who, precisely, wins if men are terrified of lawsuits and women are falling behind as a consequence?
In this toxic, paranoid environment, women will never be trusted as advisers. They will be frozen out of networks – or, increasingly, create their own women-only networks, which on the surface promise advancement yet deep down increase gender separatism. Would the single-sex workplaces of the 1940s be safer for all?

Women don't fall behind because of it. Women are woefully incapable of competing with men in the first place.

Here a rundown of IQs - if you add mental mindset, interests etc - it will look even worse:



You can bet your ass off that upper management ranks unless hereditary begin at IQs of 130 and go up. Even statistically women could never compete. But at least they have man-hating feminism on their side.
