How can this …
“1) women negotiate less 2) women take more time off for children, thus advance more slowly”
… not be due to inherent gender discrimination (mostly strict gender roles)? Those things explain gender discrimination, they certainly do not explain it away.
- crazygringo 14y agoHow could it? Well, it could be biological, for example. An awful lot of personality traits are affected by our biology. I'm not saying it necessarily is, but just that it's one theoretical way in which they might "not be due to inherent gender discrimination" or "strict gender roles". Suppose testosterone makes men more aggressive (and thus more likely to negotiate), and women have less of it -- then that's purely biological right there, no gender discrimination required.
