The same reason that most men will never become CEO, perhaps?

The same reason that most men will never become CEO, perhaps?
- jpulgarin 15y agoAs of this past May, only twelve of the Fortune 500 companies were run by women. So no.
- Locke1689 15y agoNo, hugh3 is saying that the reason why most women won't be CEO and why most men won't be CEO is the same -- there are a lot of men and women and not a lot of CEOs. Simply by the pigeonhole principle most men and women won't become CEOs. What the author meant to say (and screwed up) is "Why Most CEOs Won't Be Women."
- mattdeboard 15y agoI think you missed it. The reason most women will never become a CEO is because there are far less than 3.5 billion CEO positions available for filling. This is also the reason most men will never become a CEO.
- baddox 15y agohugh3 is pointing out that the title is worded incorrectly. Since CEOs represent a very small portion of people, most people will never become CEOs regardless of their gender.
- mhartl 15y agoReread the headline. Its symbolic meaning is clear enough—"why most CEOs will never be women"—but its literal meaning is stupid. Of course most women will never become CEO; most men won't, either.
