I mean, that argument makes sense logically but this topic doesn't really follow logic. Women are just as much human and are just as capable as working as men. So if a woman does good work, why do women, on average, make 0.70 cents for every dollar that a man makes. The work is the same and the only difference is the gender. It just isn't a system that follows logic.

This is true, and it's also 100% rational. But the world isn't 100% rational. I think many people in management positions (and otherwise) are used to seeing men in power, and seeing men as the movers and shakers of workplaces and societies. So when a manager, maybe of an older generation, who grew up in the 50s, who has mostly worked with male managers and male workers, sees a girl present her work, it's easy for this manager to SUBCONSCIOUSLY dismiss her a little bit more than they would dismiss a male presenting the same work. Decisions are made on gut feeling as well as many other factors and if the gut feeling towards a woman is somehow, unconsciously, to see her as less competent or less powerful then she's probably less likely to get the job.

Did you automatically assign a gender to that manager? I didn't use any gendered pronouns, but I'm guessing there's a good chance you assumed that manager was male. There you go - that's a good example of this subconscious 'gut feeling' that still exists in society in relation to workplaces/work/positions of power.

There's a ton of other issues at play too.

One other thing I'll mention is the culture of business today. Many businesses and workplaces have a culture where to get real attention often an employee should be quite loud, push their ideas in meetings, be (over)confident in their abilities, be willing to talk over someone... In guys, that's going to look confident, ambitious, strong, a leader - things society values in men and teaches young men to be. But for women, firstly we have to get over the hump of forgetting that we've been told from a young age to be kind of the opposite of that strong character. And secondly we need to work out how to be that person at work or in an interview and avoid getting the subconscious 'bitch' tag, where a guy would just be seen as ambitious.

I know to a point I'm stereotyping, and so many workplaces and managers aren't like this and so many men and women I've worked with don't think like this. But it's an undeniable fact that there ARE managers who think like that, and those guys are often the ones with the power to make the hiring decisions, leading to less women being represented.

What's the point you're making here?
