What I think Abbath might be hinting at, or possibly, what I'm taking from his stance, is that men have a leg up in business due to a variety of factors in which they have preference.
Men tend to hire male friends, relatives, and women they are interested in.
Patriarchal society tends to lead families to support the boys more than the girls in business pursuits.
I can't really prove any of this because there haven't been any major studies, but personally this has been the case for many of my friends.

Anyway, I'm not going to be the one to say, guys rule the world, or that many guys means all guys, or anything.
But to me, personally, guys look out for other guys. That's just my experience.

False, check the actual facts.  Men actually prefer women over men, as well (I posted the studies above).  And actually prefer hiring women who will take a lengthy maternity leave versus those who do not.

There have been studies, I linked them both, so if you're actually interested, read them.

Ok so I read the studies but I'm not sure they support entirely your insistence that I'm wrong. The studies showed that women are preferred among men in teaching positions of academic science. Additionally, it purported that the reason women only make up 20% of the field is because far fewer women enter the field than do men.

Furthermore, none of the studies explained why the men chose women. Just that they did.
I mean, I could suppose that men simply preferred looking at women's faces.

And the part about maternal leave is odd as well. Women didn't have any preference, but men did.
Perhaps it is still sexism involved in thinking that women should be 'caretakers'.

Anyhoo, my objections notwithstanding, again, none of the listed articles actually counters what I said....simply that in one field, professors favor women over men. These aren't even the people that do the hiring, they're just professors.
