"[study published] in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, women are no longer at a disadvantage when applying for tenure-track positions in university science departments. In fact, the bias has now flipped: Female candidates are now twice as likely to be chosen as equally qualified men."
And what do people usually reply? There is so few women in university science departments that the quality of women that manage to survive in such discriminate environment is higher than among men.
So lets copy paste the same for midwifery. The reason men get promoted faster is because the quality of men that manage to survive in such discriminate environment is higher than among women.
I will add that midwifery do stand out in gender segregation data. Using Swedish data it is the single worst segregated profession with around 99.7% and in higher education it was the only program last year where every single student (100%) was of the same gender. People who care about combating gender segregation do a great disservice in ignoring the worst offender.
