> some kind of obvious industry norm. It is not; you should reword. OP's study about women being promoted 25% faster than men just means it's an industry norm to promote women. At least nowadays. I'd like to attract your attention that the world is changing, I'm happy with more equality at my workplace, and women were obviously oppressed in workplaces I've been to 10 years ago. Just, at least, not today in UK anyway.
