So not true, I am a consultant for medical groups.  Most of the office managers and practice administrators are women.  I think that different fields of work are dominated by a certain sex about the whole equality issue is no longer an issue

Because women generally aren't willing to pay for sex.

there are women in my workplace who have ascended to managerial positions, starting out as secretaries/assistants, with only  a hs degree or an associates. men don't have that luck.\nAnd besides, any word or stare can be considered harassment, making women untouchable in an office.

Because women are considered to be more innocent and inexperienced with life than men. I am not saying this the right way to think, but it is the "attitude" of society. \n\nSo the living at home, the getting into bars before 21, the better grades, less tickets (not always), getting stuff for free, and better service.

i dont think there are really downsides. have you ever heard of the glass escalator? this applies to men in women dominated occupations. even though a woman may have worked longer, men still tend to get the promotions.

On each level theres an argument that inequality is higher depending on gender. Depending on what you are trying to analyze there will be some differences but as a general rule women will be confronted with higher amounts of inequality in each dimension than their male counterparts. In the job market women will be paid less, and have a tougher time advancing in their field across the board when looking at the dimensions of inequality. The same could be assumed along lines of prestige as most societies still have some form of male domination or patirachy even if its receding. \n\nFor most levels of analysis women will find more inequality by comparison to males across the board when looking at different dimensions of inequality

If you are looking for a life without problems you won't be able to manage a job or children both are fraught with possibilities for enormous numbers of them.\n\nAn intelligent woman will be able to balance both with reasonable success and failure in both.  She will miss some of the high points of child rearing and might not reach the pinnacle she would have liked at the job.\n\nHowever, loving both her children and her job that will be enough for her.

Different comfort levels.  Some woman do not want them in the way, and some woman don't want to be seen.  It's mostly about function ( convenient or not) and preference.

yes i do, i think that the women doing the same jobs as men getting paid less for, even tho they have been there longer or just as long as the man deserve to have an increase, and i think Mrs. Clinton will provide them witht that opptunity, wich is only right, and fair.

Because women are just now (in the last 50 years) starting to aquire stable jobs in the buisness world. Men however, have reached their peak in the buisness world and have their wives to earn a considerable amount of the family income. Therefore, men are able to take more financial risks.

There once was a time in American history when the thought of women working for complex, multi-national technology companies, giant advertising firms, and massive publishing houses was snickered at behind closed boardroom doors.\n\nToday, women are running those companies—from some of those very same boardrooms.\n\nBut although women make up almost half of America's labor force, still only two Fortune 500 companies have women CEOs or presidents, and 90 of those 500 companies don't have any women corporate officers.\n\nCatalyst, the not-for-profit New York-based women's research organization, points out, however, that its data shows a change over the last five years. A recent survey revealed that 10% of the Fortune 500 companies have women holding at least one-quarter of their corporate officer positions. This percentage rose from only 5% in 1995.\n\nFor the few women who have reached the highest ranks, they'd prefer not to talk about their gender. To them it's no longer an issue. Their accomplishments represent significant milestones—not just for women in business—but for women all over the world making career choices.\n\nHere's a closer look at some of the most important women in business.\n\nCatherine Elizabeth "Cathy" Hughes \nRadio Personality, Executive \nBorn Catherine Elizabeth Woods, she attended Creighton University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha but did not graduate. Around 1969 she began working at KOWH, a black radio station in Omaha, handling various jobs, and becoming well known.\n\nHer success prompted the School of Communications at Howard University in Washington, DC, to offer her a job as lecturer. In 1973 she became sales director at WHUR-FM. Two years later she became the station's general manager, boosting sales revenue to $3.5 million from $300,000.\n\nIn 1979, she and her husband, Dewey Hughes, purchased a small Washington radio station, WOL, creating Radio One. Her marriage eventually ended, and she bought her husband's share in the station. But Hughes was forced to give up her apartment and live at the station for a time in order to make ends meet.\n\nOver time, she made the station profitable, and her own talk show became a hit. By purchasing stations in other cities, the company eventually became the nation's largest black-owned radio chain. She is the first African American woman to head a firm publicly traded on a stock exchange in the United States. She has been married twice and has one son.\n\nMuriel "Mickey" Siebert \nStockbroker \nSiebert attended Western Reserve University (now known as Case Western) but dropped out after two years when her father got cancer. In 1954 she arrived in New York City with $500 to search for a job. She was hired as a trainee research analyst at the Wall Street. firm Bache & Co. She later worked as an analyst at a number of firms.\n\nIn 1967 she became the first woman to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For ten years she was the only female among the 1,366 members. In 1969 she became the first woman to own and operate a brokerage firm that belonged to the NYSE, Muriel Siebert & Co, now Siebert Financial Corp.\n\nIn 1975 when the U.S. government abolished fixed commissions for stockbrokers, Siebert turned her company into a discount brokerage firm. In 1977 she was named New York State banking superintendent. She stepped down in 1982 to run for the senate but lost the Republican primary.\n\nSince then Siebert has run her company and been involved with charitable work. She is often called "The First Woman of Finance." In 2002 her autobiography, Changing the Rules—Adventures of a Wall Street Maverick, was published.\n\nMary Kay Ash \nBusiness Executive \nFounder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, one of the largest beauty products firms in the United States, Ash sold a child psychology book door to door in the late 1930s and then was a sales representative and manager at the Sta

I agree, I always wondered that myself. I work with a lot of women who talk about women can do everything a man can do, but let a heavy box land in front of them and it's like they forgot everything they said about their abilities.

They are not all like that, unfortunately some men are stuck in the past. It also works the other way round. Women only normally get to the top by being ruthless.\n\nNow finish ironing my shirt and get on with your work. (Joke)\n\nBy the way if he is going too far, there are laws against sexual discrimination. Or move on and find a better job/boss.

yes in some cases.women do have an edge over men if their bosses are men as men tend to have a soft corner for women.but if their bosses are women then their wont be any chance for the women.
