I don't seen any evidence in the article that women executives are being discriminated against.

"Women's groups" (I use quotes because the groups do NOT represent most women) and diversity-promoting consultants like McKinsey ultimate want quotas, just as "civil rights" groups want racial quotas.

I'd avoid hiring McKinsey if possible.

There is ALWAYS the false premise used that it's not happening in "diverse" enough numbers, which assumes a target class of individuals WANT to move to the responsibility level, ARE QUALIFIED to rise to the responsibility level, and/or have the DESIRE AND WILL MAKE THE SACRIFICES NECESSARY to take on the next level of responsibility.

Trying to "look" diverse is worse than ACTUALLY PROMOTING THE MOST-QUALIFIED, REGARDLESS OF RACE, GENDER, OR AGE.

I always ran my businesses to create bottom-line, encourage innovation, and reward stellar performance....regardless of the above "diversity" factors....and it was before we were FORCED to meet quotas or be boycotted by racist and feminist dictators.

It's lost on these folks that most women have no interest in a CEO position.

As for who is being discriminated against, while there are individual exceptions, in my experience white males are the most likely to get unfair treatment.

I’ll ‘coach’ them, if I can go to the showers with them.

Why are they moving from ability to political correctness/affirmative action?

In the type of work I was engaged in, the women would not or could not do the same work as their male counterparts so as far as I’m concerned, news items like this are “boo hoo hoo” stories.

Quoting statistics = prima facie evidence of discrimination in some circles. Those circles would be those where emotions rule while logic and reason are foreign or sexist concepts.
