ORIGINAL: tamaka Great. Show me a hundred or so high tech acquisition corporate contracts that were signed by women. ...okay. Major key moves from Google and/or Youtube since ~2010... does that work for you? Susan Wojcicki was in charge of many of the sub-branches of Google (including the google doodle which grew exponentially to the complex and animated doodles which requires formal contracts and approvals from IP holders, artists, and legal) and spearheaded Google's acquisition of Youtube in 2007, before later being appointed CEO of Youtube. but what does that prove? Women can sign contracts, close deals, and negotiate just as well as men... in fact it is argued that they can do so better as they multi-task and problem solve more constructively then men. It proves Susan W is an anomoly. I am not arguing that women can't sign, close and negotiate, etc. I am saying that in most cases they don't. It's still a man's world. There are many different reasons for that. One being that top level men want to deal with other top level men. That is very presumptuous and entirely incorrect. More women negotiate, sign, and close then men because there are more women in Retail which do exactly that on a day to day bases with individual consumers. The idea that a woman cannot compete with a man 'at the top level' is entirely unfounded and some what silly as it has been disproven time and time again. The reason why there are no top level Tech CEO's that are female is because you can't just get hired into that career, you have to work your way there... and well... the Tech Industry is one of the most stressful careers out there because a general lack of individual value compounded by an exponentially large amount of work demanded per deadline. You are undervalued and over worked. women which tend to hold themselves to higher standards and in turn demand more respect, often do not allow themselves to suffer through it as the trouble is not worth the payoff, while most Men simply 'soldier on' through the adversity. It is why most all of the high-stress jobs have disproportional male/female ratios.
