why are only 11% of Fortune-500 senior executives women?

I think I got this example from a textbook. Or possibly a Dilbert book. But it was discussing this issue.

Suppose you asked the following question to a large enough population of people interested in being a senior executive: In order to get to be a senior executive, you have to spend 30 years away from your family and kids and kiss one thousand fat white asses. Are you still interested in being a senior executive?

What percent of women would say yes? And how many would say it with enthusiasm? What percent of men would say "just give me a minute to find my business card. Here it is. I'm ready!"

Because women's brains are stupider than men's are.

Women are only good for three things: cooking, cleaning, and vaginas.

We discussed this in my business classes, and it has nothing to do with intelligence but rather a level of ruthlessness. If a factory needs closed to save the company a few million dollars, men tend to see the bottom line and women tend to see the thousands of families who will be without a job. Women, in most cases, would rather quit their own job than make the decision to fire hundreds/thousands of others.
