Flawed study finds women judged against more criteria, when hiring, than men

Image
  A new study has been published which suggests men are evaluated on their competence to do a job but women are evaluated way more stringently and are also evaluated against their morality and sociability too. The feminists of reddit seize on this, add their own lived experiences, and before you know it we have yet more proof that the patriachy bogeyman is holding women back. " Not to make this political, but look at how Kamala was judged. She was a DEI despite having a fairly illustrious career in politics and being an Attorney’s General among other positions while Trump was a felon with a terrible first presidential term and no political experience outside of that first term. Our country is literally in shambles because of misogyny . " I do wonder how many of those feminists even click on the link to read the actual study, which can be found here . If you, take the time to read it, you can find it's fairly flawed and nothing like as clear cut as the title would suggest....

Feminist gets upset having to wear high heels for customer facing job

I recently read an experience from a feminist complaining that her boss was asking her to where high heeled shoes for her job. Obviously every other woman on the feminst forum piled on in to tell her that she should wear whatever she damn well pleases and that the boss is obviously a man and has no right. The thing is the lady admits she is working with clients and the boss is telling her that it looks more professional when she wears heels as opposed to flat shoes. Now whether he is right or wrong, is immaterial. It is his business, he thinks that looks better, it's his job to keep everyone employed and he's clearly communicating that these things out. Rather than accept it she's just complaining about it. She argues about it, and the rest of the feminist's arguments about it are typically hysterical I don't want to leave my job because I need it, and heels aren't officially part of the dress code, but it's something that my boss obviously feels very strong...

No, just because you got turned down for a job does NOT mean it's sexism

  Often we see posts from a woman who has missed out on a job. Rather than looking at skills, how things can be improved the inevitable conclusion is it's down to the mystical patriachy holding every woman back. I have first hand experience of this. I remember applying for a job at a local shop, on Saturday, and being rejected being told that the shop were looking for a girl to work there instead of a boy. When it's clearly stated like that, then you know, it was just sexism. In my business people rarely want to take responsibilities for their actions. It's usually everyone else's fault than themselves, think "a bad worker often blames their tools" but on an industrial scale. People who are succeeding rarely blame anything else, when they are failing, then they sing like canaries. Failure is good. It gives you a chance to grow, to look at what happened, to pivot and to improve. Blaming a mystical patriachy is a scape goat and robs the woman of a chance to look...
