Except there's a flaw here: if you only consider one end of the power/status continuum you don't get the whole picture. Men outnumber women at <i>both</i> extremes, which suggests that traditional theories of gender discrimination are, at the very least, missing something. "Men discriminate against women to get to the top" doesn't explain why so many men and so few women end up at the <i>bottom</i>, and so is insufficient.
