Perhaps one of the reasons this aggregate category of &quot;women&quot; doesn&#x27;t want &quot;these jobs&quot; is because of an expectation of harassment or bias on the job. It&#x27;s kind of hard to want to progress anywhere that is openly or passively aggressive towards you.<p>I don&#x27;t think &quot;they just don&#x27;t want the jobs&quot; should be considered the end of the story or any sort of proof that sexism isn&#x27;t happening. Regardless, even if it were, it isn&#x27;t actionable information in any way. You can&#x27;t go from &quot;some women just don&#x27;t want to be CEOs&quot; to &quot;thus, let&#x27;s continue to operate the ol&#x27; boys club&quot;. Somewhere in the middle, a message or two are getting lost.<p>You&#x27;d really have to be living under a rock to think there is not sexism going in the workplace. All this study says is that it doesn&#x27;t manifest in the particular, limited region surrounding compensation, which is by far not the sum total of the employment experience.
