It pays to be a woman in the corporate world

Was reading an article on how women need to be treated equal as men... about women not been treated well and exploited in an corporate environment and what amounts to sexual harassment and what does not.... I looked into my past 15 years and some other 15 other friends equally large experience to see how were women exploited...
I had an opposing view to the debate that is currently going on....
I would say keeping war of the sexes aside, what counts is how street smart and opportunistic the person is... men have been traditionally in the forefront earlier, but women are not far behind in this game... certain business such as media, PR, advertising have been know to favour having women sales and servicing people... the reason is simple, men find it difficult to say NO to women then men... having been in media for about 9 years, have seen these cases quite often... women executives have been more effective than men...

On the corporate side too I see a massive difference in the way women who have the above traits have fared much better than their male counterparts... But yes this is true till the extent that the boss is a male....

I rest the case with this...
