I guess you have to get used to such "configurations", given that in a fully equal world having both a female team lead and manager is entirely possible. Or how does this confirm your claim that women are unfairly promoted more frequently?
The reason for quicker promotions is probably a skewed distribution of personalities, as also mentioned further below. Men of all personalities are more likely to start science and engineering degrees because they are nurtured into it by society anyway. Women have to be the kind of person that does not care about such biases, and develops and follows interests.
- DanielleMolloy 10y agoI got downvoted for this comment multiple times. Could somebody explain why? Just curious.
- wott 10y agoI my former company, it was simple: people who sucked at technical stuff were promoted to managerial positions, hoping that they would show some qualities there, and making sure they would at least not any more harm the projects they were part of. Therefore we had between 0% and 5% women in technical teams, and 75% in management.
