Just saw @JillYavorsky1 on @MSNBC re: women and workplace equality, but one of the most important barriers to female success in top leadership positions wasn't mentioned: because corporations demands surrendering empathy to engage in an amoral pursuit of profit for the top gigs.
This is NOT a problem with women - it's an institutional and structural societal problem that puts women in a position of compromising their humanity and undermining their own morality to achieve the topmost positions...
which, I believe, is often a compromise and unappealing tradeoff, shaping career choice early on, leading women to select careers along a different path that does not conflict with morality, and ultimately does not result in incomes in the top 1%.
Just my take on one of the very overlooked systemic reasons for how men are favored in the workplace when it comes to achieving leadership roles... and it's something that ultimately hurts society as a whole.
Change how corporations define their goals, and you'll see big changes in who leads, who succeeds, and it'll drive a more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunity nationwide - and worldwide.
(and my background is in anthro and evolutionary biology/ethology, not sociology - sorry if there's any confused terminology ;) )
