[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men are not more likely to be hired than wome in the US. All the stuff you typed are old trite stereotypes.

Look at this study: http://www.npr.org/blogs/ed/2015/04/22/396672571/could-it-be-researchers-find-a-hiring-bias-that-favors-women

This article was about hiring women for STEM positions at universities, not hiring women in the U.S. in general. If you are going to quote a source there needs to be some intellectual integrity when you make the argument. Here's an excerpt from the article:

"Perceived hiring biases against women working in science, technology, engineering and math have been around as long as women have been graduating from STEM programs. From 2008 to 2010, women received the majority of doctorate degrees in life and social sciences but only 32 percent of the open assistant professorships.

Now comes a study that offers something of a counter-narrative — that, given the chance, universities would rather hire women for STEM tenure-track positions." Then it goes on to say "For once, it appears that men are getting the short end of the stick." So no, based on the link you provided you have not debunked anything. One more question? Shouldn't you be paying attention in class instead of reading DCUM (sorry but the level of language you use is puerile).

One more point from the study referenced above:

"It's a provocative study," says Donna Ginther, professor of economics at the University of Kansas, that doesn't replicate the real world.[/quote]
