And so those men are often very difficult to live with too because they're so obsessed with their career it's hard to have a relationship with them. And maybe they don't have much of a relationship with their kids, but they're damn good at what they do, and part of that is is they're smart and disciplined and they'll work nonstop all the time. It's like an obsession and that's the sort of people who run things. Those are the people who run things. While they're often also disagreeable too, because you want managed people, really, they're not going to like you. And it's not an easy thing to not be liked.And actually if you're an agreeable person, and women are more agreeable than men, it's quite painful to be disliked. But if you're in a managerial and executive position, the probability that people are going to like you is quite low. Those positions are very stressful, partly because of the interpersonal dynamics and they're also incredibly, incredibly competitive. So we've got things backwards in our culture. We're thinking at least in part, why aren't there more women in positions of power? Wrong question. The right question is, why are there any men at all who want those positions of power? Because it's not just positions of power. You have to be such a knothead to think that, Oh, it's a position of power. It's like, sure, but it's a position of overwhelming responsibility and if you make mistakes, you're done, right? It's not like you occupy that position of power and everyone does what they're told all the time in your life is easy. It's like, forget about that. People are on your case to do exactly the right thing all the time, 100% of the time. And maybe you want that and maybe you don't.So I don't know what people think, is these people are all sitting in their offices with their feet up on the desk, smoking cigars and oppressing the world. It's like that isn't how it works. Those people, they work flat out all the time. So, and it's fine if that's what you want and some people are like that. They're hyper industrious people, right, from a trait perspective. No matter where you put them, if you put them in a forest with an ax, they just wander around chopping down trees nonstop, right, because it's built into them. ===================================================
