No shit. The same can be said for minorities.

The article very clearly says that men send out more junk applications where they don't meet the qualifications than women do. The only thing this proves is that men take more stabs in the dark. "Women felt they had to meet 100% of the qualifications, while men felt they had to meet only 60%". What the fuck does that have to do with affirmative action? Or did you not read it and just use the headline to affirm your own biases?

Because men know they have a lower chance of getting hired, so they have to make more attempts

Truly the world of business is biased against men who have to fight each other for every scrap in a matriarchal world where women hog all the power and money.

Also I'm sure we can somehow make it a problem that women apply for jobs they're actually qualified for, instead of men bullshitting their way through life and getting free chances anyways regardless of how inept and unqualified they might be.

When you dont have affirmative action getting you hired you need to cast a wider net. I'm sure if you look at only the jobs the applicants are qualified for women and minorities would still have a far higher probability of being hired.

    Are they asking for the same in wages though?

    This was brought up in the Norwegian Brainwash documentary as one of the reasons men earn more than women. We're more willing to apply for jobs we're not qualified for and sometimes get lucky.

    Funny how luck seems to so consistently go in men's direction.

    Depends if you consider working yourself to death in a high stress job while you lose the bond with your friends and family lucky.

    Possibly, just possibly, women actually know what kind of life they want and are making the choices in their own personal best interest.

    Let me feel pity for you as you and your bros wipe your tears with money. Truly, the world never considers the burden of so much privilege.

    women actually know what kind of life they want and are making the choices in their own personal best interest.

    Right. And don't forget that they're mind-controlling all the men to not give them equal opportunities and to favour unqualified men just because they waved their dick more! It's all a part of the feminazi's true master plan to just sit on the couch and watch tv as lazy housewives, that's why they're the ones who fought for the right to have a career while men are the ones endlessly whining about women stealing their brutal jobs and money that they don't want...uh...wait a sec...um...

    You are really making a fool of yourself here.

    Here's a tip, never assume.

    Aww, did I make you boo-hoo because I ripped your delusional fairy tale to shreds? Sowy :,c Maybe next time try to think of something that's not destroyed with a modicum of brain usage and you'll avoid the tears and embarrassment. Bye!

    The truth is women mostly apply to job they have the qualification to do. While man apply to w/e.

    so men are more likely to get jobs where they are underqualified while girl are more likely to get jobs where they are overqualified.

    Maybe there's an evolutionary aspect of humans, which has been previously unidentified.

    Secrets of a sex-changing fish revealed

    We may take it for granted that the sex of an animal is established at birth and doesn't change. However, about 500 species of fish change sex in adulthood, often in response to environmental cues. How these fish change sex has, until now, been a mystery.

    First women put on pants suits.

    Years later, men put on dresses and inverted their penises.

    Hypothesis: The transgender tipping point is correlated with the probability of "getting hired".

    Edit: This "theory" is absurd beyond consideration. I'm just having fun.

    Nope, most businesses out there know that transexuals are unhinged and a huge potential liability, even in the Silicon Valley, sure they'll hire a few of them to look woker than woke, but they are not completely stupid. "diversity hires" are a thing.

      Hutts. No, really, look it up on Wookiepedia, legends. Hutts change genders to basically impregnate themselves, the nasty slugs.

      [–]Akali 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      But are hutts really mammals though? Aren't they more like huge larva?

      Yeah, they are over-grown maggots.

      Career FOMO is a serious thing.

      Lol, pandering to that reddit demographic

      These stats seem pretty similar tbh.
