Women are just as competent as men in many, many corporate roles. Biologically speaking they are the weaker gender and therefore have had to strenghten their non physical traits in order to survive. They needed to be able to read body language and communicate very well, better than men, because men were the ones they needed to defend themselves against (rape, unwanted advances, etc) in primitive times. They needed to be socially savvy because this is what would secure them a higher position in the social hierarchy that gave them access to higher quality men from whom they would seek commitment. Why do you think the term "women's intuition" is a thing? They literally have a sixth sense when it comes to sniffing out a person's traits. These all translate to a business setting in fields like consulting and sales, as well as fields like law and medicine which don't require much critical (left brain) thinking. Take a field like management consulting - this field is HUGE on high level communication, being able to gauge body language, negotiating, and being politically savvy. Not to mention being organized, which women are extremely competent at because they take tons of notes and like to make everything neat. Then consider something like sales - women naturally are excellent communicators and they have an incredible ability to read others. That's in their damn biology - when was the last time you met a female incel or a socially retarded female, or a woman without "women's intuition"? And finally, law/medicine - law is mostly memorization and being socially savvy in terms of persuasion. Medicine is just memorization. Neither of which requires significant critical thought. The amount of accomplished women I've seen in even non sales and consulting fields is huge. The valedictorian of my college's biomedical engineering program was a woman. In my sister's med school program, the majority of students are women. The only place where women tend to really suck is in academia, fields where there is a lot of technical work, and managerial roles. I would argue that this is true in general, but there are exceptions where women excel. The reason being, biologically speaking this puts them at a disadvantage because you do not need to be socially savvy, you do not need to communicate well, and you do not need to be able to read body language to do high level software engineering jobs, engineering jobs in general, research related jobs, or higher level finance jobs. And fortunately, these jobs are a plenty and still male dominated. In regards to managerial roles, this requires dominance and emotional intelligence to be truly effective. Hard for many women to dominate men and even harder for them to control their emotions when it comes to decision making. Ergo, management will pretty much always be a male dominated field. Inspiring leaders are dominant on the whole (not necessarily intimidating) and are people whom others want to follow. Not many men would like the idea of heading into battle with a woman leading them. The fields in which women are basically just as competent as men are consulting, sales, law, and medicine (since medicine doesn't require critical, left brain thinking typically). Furthermore in those positions (I am assuming here), I would say that at the higher level it's mostly men doing the managing. In high level consulting/sales/law, I would imagine that everything else being equal, dominance and connections would get you to managerial roles instead of rote merit.</blockquote>
