Maybe this will inspire some discussion.
Summary:
To the extent that it happens, perhaps women are slighted in the workplace by men because of our general experience with them over our lifetime.
Body:
In the non-working environment, such as school, home, and relationships, we all share common experiences dealing with women over the course of our lives.
We've all been there when a girl who "liked" you, all of a sudden "doesn't like you anymore."
We've seen their irrational behavior, hamstering, and propensity for gossip and deceit.
We, as men, even have the seemingly universal joke about how girlfriends can't decide on where to go for dinner, despite them saying "you decide" yet shooting down all five of your suggestions and getting mad at you.
We've been there when they throw out random, unrelated quips during an argument, where their idea of problem solving isn't to discuss, but to blame, complain, and withhold sex.
Solipsism. Hamstering. Fickleness and poor decision-making. These are the kinds of things we've all seen MANY women do in our lives - the proof is that we relate to each other on them, and they repeat.
So, if these are experiences most men have with most women, imagine for a minute a man at work being presented with two possible employees to assign a million dollar project to - a male, and a female.
It's entirely possible that his repeated experiences with women - lies, deceit, hamstering - have fouled his trust in this woman's ability to deliver results where there's no room for error.
Does this make that man prejudiced against women? Maybe, but it's come from his own experience.
Lessons Learned:
By this logic, their own solipsism and childish nature cause their own struggle in the workplace. The men they encounter at work have surely dealt with this before in their private lives, and the men THEY annoy surely go on to workplaces eventually.
Is there some validity to this? Or is it too wah-wah-wah, it's their nature, deal with it?
