Yes, being tall and assertive is more common among males. What point are you trying to make?

His point is that a tall and assertive woman would be less likely to be made CEO than her male contemporary.

There are more CEOs of large U.S. companies who are named David (4.5%) than there are CEOs who are women (4.1%) — and David isn’t even the most common first name among CEOs. (That would be John, at 5.3%.)

Are we able to construct experiments to test this? I’m not sure how that’s possible given the confounds we don’t have the ability to control for (genetics being a huge one). Looking at group level statistics can’t provide a definitive answer due to this.

If you have some links that prove otherwise I’d love to see them!
