4). While this may be true, it is also noted that women can achieve these things. They are capable of competing for positions, while being aggressive and rational. Women are portrayed as being overcome with emotion, that they cannot control themselves and handle being put in important positions. I argue that women are capable of doing whatever a man can do, perhaps even better. In an article by Geoffrey James in Inc. magazine he admits that “when it comes to doing business, on average, women are smarter than men” (James, 2014). The truth is that women are hard workers and are capable of any prestigious position.

There is a hierarchy system in the workforce that takes place. In Gendering World Politics, J. Ann Tickner explains how “feminist are challenging us to see the inequality and domination aspects of “common sense” gender differences. For example, uncovering previously hidden gender hierarchies in policy priorities or workplace participation can show how they contribute to conflict and injustice in ways that have detrimental effects on the security of both men and women” (Tickner, 2001, Pg.5).
