It could be an income level thing. Not that I like making generalizations (and this is just the observation of other people's experience, I don't agree with this personally as I have no personal data to support the majority of observations which lead to it): * At low incomes, women are responsible workers, men are irresponsible workers. * At higher incomes (middle class), men are responsible workers, women are irresponsible workers. It could come from the confluence of privilege and feminism, lower income female workers think they have to go the extra mile to prove they deserve the job, because feminism isn't ingrained in them, the communities they live in often force women into gender roles (they just happen to be the more responsible roles). Upper income female workers have ingrained feminism, but society still treats (via media, social interactions, etc) them like their old gender roles (ever see girls on teen TV shows? It's the most sexist shit I've seen on TV). This means they believe they are equal to men (which they are) but they also believe (due to society) that they can behave like society expected them to 50 years ago, which they can't if they want a job in the modern work place. Again, I blame society.
