William K. says
Most of the positions reported are what I consider fairly high stress positions that require a lot of good decision making under pressure. That is not the sort of position that I would choose to be in. So it seems that perhaps these women, in addition to having talent in their areas, have selected these positions because they are willing to deal with the stress level. As Americans they are certainly entitled to make that choice, and likewise, as an American, I am allowed to make a different choice.
My point being that perhaps the reality is that fewer women choose such high stress positions because they understand what is demanded. Lack of a specific group in a specific area does not prove anything is my point. Perhaps not everybody would choose that high stress level no matter what the compensation. I did not select that high a stress level, perhaps others likewise chose positions with lower stress levels.
