Gender differences in automatic in-group bias: why do women like women more than men like men?

Bluntly stated, a "woman's view" on how to run our semiconductor company does not help us, unless that woman has an advanced technical degree and experience as a CEO.

I hear lots of people say this. It's usually in the form of saying, women have better interpersonal skills, or some vague intangible skill that men somehow can't possess. The impliction is that therefore women are better at a particular job than men. Yet reverse the sexes and say men are better at some jobs, and the term sexist or misogynist is sure to follow.

100% of big oil executives think off-shore drilling is a great idea.

Well, it's quite clear:

...women believe that...

Some people still believe the earth is flat. And I know it looks fucking flat, even from a plane at 30,000 feet (and pictures from spacecraft can always be photoshopped), but, c'mon...

As phrased, it technically does not say that those qualities have to come from their womanhood, only that women who come to the board bring special qualities. Well, if I believe that most individuals bring various special qualities with them to a board, then I certainly believe it is true of individuals who are women.

Unfortunately, that's probably not at all what they are getting at, though.

Unfortunately for them, beliefs do not dictate reality.

TheGreatChaos · 2012-09-29T02:52:08+00:00

Remember: Its not sexism when its POSITIVE!

Manatee7474 · 2012-09-28T23:44:52+00:00

And what are those special qualities?

ttnorac · 2012-09-29T00:41:59+00:00

100 percent of Spyder001's believe that he should be paid $1,000,000.00 dollars a year and not have to do anything but play video games.

<taps foot>, I'll wait.

I have no problem with this; in fact, I think 100% of women should think that women bring something special to the board.

I'm more concerned about the increasing number of people all over society who think that men bring nothing special to the board.

ttnorac · 2012-09-29T02:38:41+00:00

Sure, 'special' qualities.

cthulufunk · 2012-09-29T21:12:50+00:00

90% of cats believe that cats bring special qualities to an aviary.

Sex has nothing to do with most boards. It has to do with skills related to what is being discussed. A board about breast cancer/prostate cancer treatments could be filled with men/women respectively and still get a lot done. (it is still a board meeting so I doubt anything would actually get done)

iamafeesh · 2012-09-28T23:42:28+00:00

Only 10% of women are worth a man's time.

Well, shit.

Today we learn about tautologies.

Samccx19 · 2012-09-29T12:47:54+00:00

Could anyone explain what these differences are? I'd like to know the logic behind this statement, if there is any.

Liverotto · 2012-09-30T17:15:38+00:00

Ninety percent of women believe that women bring special qualities to a board.

Yeah "special", like "the special kid in school", that kind of special.

Liverotto · 2012-09-30T17:18:40+00:00

9 out of 10 people enjoy gang-rape.

That's 90%, isn't it?

palz2015 · 2012-10-04T01:43:44+00:00

Half expected the male thing to say "90% of men are stupid."
