For example, men may be expected to do better in STEM fields, while women may be expected to fare better in Humanities. As a result, when leaders in gender-incongruent areas are judged, they are judged differently compared to those in gender-congruent fields. For example, women working as leaders in the construction field might be judged less than their male counterparts since people believe women can't do construction work properly, i.e they are predisposed to failure, while the men are supposed to excel at this. Therefore, those men might be judged more harshly.

Meanwhile, the ratings of male presidents of female colleges are 1.5 points lower than their female counterparts.

When women act in ways that are inconsistent with such stereotypes, however (i.e., act assertively, focus on work task, display ambition), their behavior is judged as too tough, even unfeminine.
Furthermore, when it comes to proving leadership capabilities, women are subjected to higher standards than men. They have to work harder to show the same level of competence and have to confront additional trade-offs than their men counterparts in order to lead effectively.

Their domination spreads so wide that women, if they want to get a job, have to opt for these fields also, eg: technology. Therefore, the gender congruence bias is basically discriminating towards women as a whole since there are so few fields considered to be dedicatied and women, and oftentimes, these fields are low level and undereducated]]> 2022-02-21 02:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sweetplant150/el5wxb2qcou6kqiz/wish/2057927326 sweetplant150 https://padlet.com/sweetplant150/el5wxb2qcou6kqiz/wish/2057928284 With the widespread domination of male congruent fields, women are judged unfairly as they struggle to make a living]]> 2022-02-21 02:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sweetplant150/el5wxb2qcou6kqiz/wish/2057928284
