From a glance, women have made tremendous progress in the fight for workplace equality over the past few decades. As recently as the 1970s, women could not apply for credit cards without having a male guarantor. And women could legally be fired for being pregnant. Times have changed. In fact, we now know that companies with more gender diversity in managerial roles are 63% more productive than companies with male-dominated management. Sexism and patriarchal attitudes have lives of their own. They may stem from a patriarchal history, but in today's culture, at times, some men may show less sexist attitudes than some women.
