Easy. Imagine a company that hires only people at least 6'1'' tall (1.85 for us Europeans). The employees genders ratio would be skewed towards males.
You could argue that there are biological differences that make the number of suitable female hires smaller, and you would be right.
Does that make your female colleagues shorter? Not at all. They are and remain, as all other employees, at least 6'1''.
- engel 9y agoActually this argument only works for binary treats. Like "tall" vs "short". If hired random people above 6'1", we would still expect that most women hired were only slightly above the cut, while the men were a bit further up.
- Udik 9y agoAlso most hired men would be only slightly above the cut, if I'm not wrong. In any case, I'd be happy enough of being above the cut, some people are never satisfied, really :).
