This debate is exhausting. I agree with some previous posters that women may be more favoured by formal systems now, while men remain more favoured by informal systems. I think that part of the issue is that there are more ways to be male and a successful senior engineer or team lead than there are female. We tend to look towards people who are similar to ourselves to see how we should advance. There are many fewer female role models than there are male ones. Many women who make it to leadership positions are encouraged to act masculine. Women who make discrimination claims that later ring false are usually villainized. I think it might be useful to think about why these might be occurring. In particular, I think women as a whole still feel a great deal more insecurity WRT their positions in the workplace. The equality that's been won in the last few decades has been to some extent manufactured, so it feels a lot more fragile. I don't think that a good reaction to this news article is to feel upset that men are now being discriminated against. |

Why not? It's good and bad news for men but men definitely shouldn't be discriminated against
