It is just not advancing through corporate ranks Thom. My wife is a retired certified building official, ,one of three in my state, and she ran into expectations and stereotypes that no man would have endured, much less tolerated including inside the Association of Building Officials. Proficiency, intelligence, due diligence is threatening to male expectations.
Words and behavior that are expected in a male Building official are considered inappropriate in a female.
The male building inspectors are resentful of having to report to a woman, and do everything they can to backstab and torpedo them, including not following the chain of command, if she was a man and went outside of the chain of command, they would have been quickly disciplined.
My wife is also a certified building inspector as well as a carpenter, electrician and plumber (and dry waller), we have hired men to do jobs that we can't do anymore because of age and condition, and when she supervises them, they get downright disrespectful in a way that they never would to a man.
She wounds there ever so fragile ego's. I can imagine people of color have much the same problem when supervising whites
