Women bosses cause mor stress - and society needs to change!?

I’m sure there must have been a tremendous pressure (and temptation) to manipulate this experiments outcome to fit the current PC agenda, such as

-women feel much better and empowered and motivated and encouraged under female boss;

-women feel threatened and harassed under male boss (and actually were in many cases);

-men started to sexually harass female boss;

-men started to conspire with male boss on how best to preserve male privilidge, etc.


I give kudos for the researchers for at least not giving into those societal pressure or temptations.

But still it seems that they couldn’t resist the inner liberal-progressive urge to somehow attribute the results to discrimination again.

So according to them, women feel more stress under female boss than male boss, because-
Stereotype hold women to be more caring and women workers are surprised and stressed to find out that their female bosses are not like their stereotype-image of caring women and instead conforming to male archetype, or that female bosses themselves are under stress working in male-dominated business world and that stress trick down to female subordinates.

Good work. Very good imagination - they can be a card-carrying feminists from today. Only one explanation provided. No call to increase more male bosses who seem to cause less stress for both female and male workers, but only some pondering on how to change society so that these hated stress-causing female bosses could be more acceptable to both male and female workers. I’m sure if the results have been reverese, i.e. male bosses are found out to be more stress-causing for workers, feminists would be ecstatic (to the point of almost reaching orgasm!) and triumphant that this is the final and indisputable evidence why there should be less male bosses and more female bosses.
