Anyone in a LTR or marriage to a feminist

4.2% of CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies are held by women. And you're asking how that's disproportionate?

Look, I don't think sexism in the workplace is all that rampant and I don't think the gender pay gap is nearly as wide as advertised, but if you think that that number is entirely due to men being more qualified, then I'd advise you to purchase an economy-sized clue.

I don't need to purchase any clue. I've been involved in the hiring process at several companies and there just aren't that many women applicants nor are there that many qualified women applicants.

So, yes, I'm asking how is 4.2% disproportionate? You didn't answer the question. You just responded with a bunch of nothing. The purpose is to hire a CEO not to match the gender demographics of the US so there's no such thing as "disproportionate".

For similar reasons, there also is not a significant gender gap in pay. Women choose fields that pay less than the fields men choose. No one is limiting women but themselves.

It's rife with hardcore feminists and if you try to speak up you will get a beat down.

On my way! hopefully more LR trolls are joining me!

And he is not antiwomen at all. If anything, he is PROwomen. He hires lots of women for his power positions and provides women with lots of opportunities. Don't bring your dishonesty here.

Yeah, pretty women. Go ahead and keep those blinders on though.

Almost everyone I choose to know or hang out with, male or female, is a feminist. I'm still trying to figure out how feminism became something that quite a few people today seem to fear and loathe. It had seemed like a done deal, a given. Somehow, things started unraveling.

Oh yeah!

I'm married (for 20+ years) to a woman who believes that women and men have equal rights and abilities. To most of the basement dwellers on this site this qualifies as a feminist.

To someone like me who is not insecure, it's refreshing to know my wife is capable and confident.

You're completely out of touch with what feminism has come to mean in the 21st century.

A bunch of nothing? I'm not the one trying to make an argument based on personal anecdote.

I'm not saying the numbers need to be exactly proportional, I'm saying they're so lopsided that there's probably something else going on beyond a lack qualified female candidates, especially when women make up 40% of students at top MBA programs and 60% of the the workforce in the financial services industry globally. I do not understand why you are so vigorously opposed to the idea that the playing field isn't completely level for all people at all times.

When you observe the day to day misogyny that I do, it's not hard to understand why some women get so angry.

This is what happens when you take this BS seriously and believe that because people are nice or considerate they are inherently good. You say that you think most women are better than men. This is an abstraction with no basis in reality. It is a mental conviction which has been instilled in you by a society which worships the feminine over all else. Societies are much easier to control when they are feminized and that is exactly what American culture has become. You are a perfect example. Believing that empathetic consideration, feigned or otherwise, constitutes adequate criteria for evaluating someone's value. Women are actually a very powerful tool for the globalist elite because they for the most part view adhering to social consensus as a form of moral rectitude. Create a social consensus which demonizes strength, independent thought, stoicism, skepticism, and pragmatism and you have created a society of slaves, much like modern America.

Those 40% women in top MBA programs were all admitted with vastly lower qualifications than their male counterparts. This was to correct for "societal inequality." Not surprisingly, far less go on to be CEO's as far less came into their MBA's with entrepreneurial experience. The financial services industry consists primarily of jobs that a robot could do so that is entirely meaningless in the context of CEO's.

The Letsrun messageboards are an easy confirmation of Lewis's law: "The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism".

Bingo. The comment directly above yours is exactly why I'm not bothered by (most) feminists. If I had to put up with that nonsense on a daily basis, I'd be angry too.

If there really were women more capable than their male counterparts, any company who hired women as CEOs would quickly outperform the competition and dominate the market. Since that has literally never happened in any field, we can safely say your position is incorrect. You have to be a real dunce to not understand this.

You made some great points but you lost me at pragmatism. Women tend to be more pragmatic than men in my experience. It's women who are generally responsible for raising kids, maintaining social bonds, caring for sick and elderly, and are often breadwinners and managers of money while men are taught to take risks pursuing goals with a high probability of failure. Maybe I'm missing something?

This really hits home as I am currently going through a divorce from a closet feminist. I didn't really understand her true nature and personal beliefs until it was too late. She was never "in your face" with her opinions but would offer subtle jabs now and again that just became worse and worse. Over time it just became unbearable as she could never take responsibility for any mistakes she made and I was the reason for all of her unhappiness.

The great irony is that she has pretty much been given a free pass in life because of the skills, abilities, and hard work of her male ancestors. Her great-grandfather made millions in Europe as a businessman and that money has been doled out over the years by her grandmother (who is viewed as the ruler of the family). My soon-to-be-ex-wife has never had a car payment because her grandmother buys her a new one every few years. She never had student loans because her father (who made great money milking the taxpayers through his job) paid for her schooling. She was able to use the money from the divorce from her first husband for the down payment on her current house. Over and over again you can point to how she has benefited in life because of the money made by the men around her but if you ever pointed that inconvenient fact out to her you faced her wrath. Now she will spend the next 10+ years reaping the benefit from my salary (which is significantly higher than hers) as I pay a huge chunk of child support for our daughter. Her response upon finding out that I just received a major raise? "That's great, now I'll have to pay even less for our daughter."

Bottom line: I was an idiot for not going with my instincts and running years ago. I won't make the same mistake ever again. I do take great comfort in the fact that she faces years of inner turmoil and anxiety because I know deep down she is aware that her great prosperity in life is the result of the

opportunities provided by the men in her life rather than her own hard work or skills.

Yes, I'm bitter. I'm heading over to check out how that divorced woman in the other thread is doing.

Great... We'll send you and the rest of the Right Brigade all the unwanted pregnancies. You have room in your humble estate, right?

What's that? It's their problem? Huh... You just got through shaming people and now you don't want anything to do with it. Funny how that works.

I think some hardcore feminists are genuinely bitter because the are the gender to carry the child in pregnancy. And therefore the group that has caused the pregnancy (evil men) add insult to injury in wanting them to not kill the child if they don't want it. It's the double whammy that produces intense ire from the hardcore fems.

The concept of feminism strikes fear into the hearts of all LR'ers, as it threatens the sanctity of their basement lairs and nightly made-to-order meals.
