Why do women complain about double standards at work when they make up 51% of the population?

The double standard is that for men it doesn't matter if people like you. Get results you get the promotion. For woman, you need to be liked or you don't get the promotion. You get the same thing where fat men still get promoted. Fat woman don't. Or you can look at the studies where gender is hidden how you get different hiring results. Google "Orchestra auditions gender neutral" to see how being male is a big help in hiring when the person hiring can tell if you are a male or not.

And woman might be 51% of the population. they aren't 51% of the workforce. And they sure aren't 51% of the management teams that determine workplace success.

And yes woman contribute to the double standards just as much as men.

And there are a bunch of double standards that work against men. Compare the value of a short, thin male in the dating market compared to a short thin female. One fights to get dates. The other has to fight off dates.

Why do Evangelical Christians complain about being persecuted and marginalized -- especially at Christmastime -- when Christians make up maybe three-fourths of the U.S. population? (Yeah, I know. Comparing ECs to women is a insult to women.)

It's really easy to just spout a bunch of stuff you have no way of backing up whatsoever. I personally know a number of women who have climbed the ladder despite being unattractive, unlikable, and genuinely mean individuals (irrespective of sex) because they were good at their jobs. The women who care a great deal about being liked aren't promoted because they prioritize being liked over performing their job well. I've observed this over and over.

I think the double standards happen in childhood and don't help either sex. On this issue, girls are generally under more pressure to be amenable and likable than boys. Many carry this through into adult life and specifically to the work place where it isn't useful at all. Some men also have the same problem.

Boys face all kinds of double standards that give rise to many of the issues we see in young men.

I have no evidence just life experience.

So basically, women getting promoted at work has nothing to do with their actual ability to do their job well. That fits in well my observations of the workplace.

Broads should shut their yaps. They get the benefits of double standards. Show a little a$$ and they get anything. Speeding ticket? cry, show some cleavage, goodbye!

Want to move up at work? Get busy with the boss, or just flirt, and boom! You're the new VP of advertising.

Double standards, yes. And the small patch of hair gets everything.
