There are probably a lot of women that don't get into that field of work. Much of my family has been to college and none of them went after executive positions, and I have a very large family.
Unproven assumptions is all you have. Companies look for the best regardless of race or gender. They won't dare get out of line in fear of a sexist or racist lawsuit. These people are not dumb.
Is that why companies are always being sued by very successful women and blacks who are overlooked when hiring managers? Yea, I've seen some very qualified women get passed over for no good reason. Sure it's hard to prove but when the courts see this woman has a fantastic track record but for years kept getting denied promotions, for younger white men, well, let's just say the companies often times settle because the facts make them look very bad.
Not very many people get into the executive level. I don't care how many white family members have that "went to college". What college? What degree? Bachelors or Masters? And what kind of workers are they? Who did they work for? So many questions.
My brother worked for Ford. He would have never become a VP at Ford. He had to go to Visteon next, then the next company and they made him VP. Still a fortune 500 company.
Anyways, the CEO doesn't know who's going to be "the best". All he knows is when he asks all the white guys under him who should be the next VP, all they come up with are other white men. Maybe those white men need to try harder.
And, I posted an article earlier that said the problem starts at the bottom. If women and blacks aren't being promoted early one, it hurts them later on. It's the reason so few of them are even an option at the top.
But you know what? The more I talk to women, the more I realize they don't appreciate the help. In fact, they talk shit about black people benefiting from AA when they themselves benefit the most.
Most of the women who are conservative and against AA are barefoot and pregnant or have a husband supporting them. In other words they are old school. They easily accept the reasons white men give them for why so few of them are executives.
Good luck using those excuses with the younger women who aren't dependent on men like Lisa558. Daddy or husband probably gave her the loan to start her own business and says no one helped her lilly white ass. Yea right.
