Yes, I would agree that life choices can be another inhibitor of women’s success in career fields. But, in some cases, I believe that women have to make these “decisions” because they may not have many other choices. For example; having children is a huge physical/medical undertaking for some women. As a result, many have to take time away from their jobs to deal with this, thus, putting an involuntary hold on their career. While this example is temporary, it still demonstrates that not all of these “decisions” are made without some other external reasoning.

There are a lot of reasons why women aren’t better represented in corporate America, and many of them are legitimate. I’m not much of a microeconomics guy, but if I was…it’s something certainly worthy of a thesis.

The real “solution” will involve research into what portion of their under representation is sexism and what comes from other life decisions that women make.

My mother has a BA, a BS, and a JD and still chose to stay home with us when we were children, and I’m sure a lot of other women (more than men) choose the same. That doesn’t imply that sexism is not a real phenomenon, though.

Keep on postin’ Rosie.

Just kidding about all that — Welcome to the blog!

As long as these guys are doing this in jest, I take no issue. But I want to pistol whip idiots who want to create a “white history month” as if the other 11 months aren’t “white history month” :)
