Why have we yet to have a woman president in this country? This is somewhat a rhetorical question because our society could tell you the answer is because she's a women. In our society gender stereotyping is one of the most biased things out there. People in our world dismiss the pervasive vacancy of females in leadership positions and roles because of the diversity in the traits of men and women. Yet, studies have shown that this biased perspective is so easy to have but yet very hard to prove with evidence. Studies prove that females and males share many more traits and qualities than ones that they don't. Both men and women are found to share the stand out qualities of cognitive thinking and personality traits. So surprising was this fact that the authors "concluded that a person's sex was not a realiable indicator of how that person would lead (Carter, 26). Women in the bussiness world well-qualified for postions in leadership declare that the gender stereotyping in society about females being able to lead continue and end in bias and discimination. The common beliefs of society say that female leaders are ultimately less task-oriented than male leaders. The stereotype of men depict that they geniunely carry qualities of a leader just because of thier gender and that women sterotyping depicts ill-suited leadership skills. We will never question why a man has authority in certain postions but it's our nature to examine a woman in power. Many women are rising up in big postions but get stopped before reaching their full capablitly because society is so quick to judge a woman's abilitys before they even know them just because of the fact she is a female.
