In my decades of work experience in an office, I’ve seen several retiring men replaced by pairs of women; I don’t assume women are “advancing” on merits. As with other affirmative action situations, companies were told “Hire your quota of women or else”; that has morphed to “Promote those women or else”. The failure to drive them into STEM fields despite every program imaginable speaks volumes about how women are adjusting to this new economy; they aren’t.
Really? When I started working in the ‘70s women were routinely underpaid and overperforming for the level they were promoted to. Never have seen women routinely promoted because they were women—and certainly not able to do only half the job of a man who preceded them.
They largely are simply not interested in your typical STEM job, But they are often good at marketing, account management, PR and HR jobs, for example, at tech companies.
I expect there are a lower percentage of women than men who would be very good at coding, engineering, etc. But if we weren’t obsessed with social engineering that really wouldn’t be an issue.

What type of jobs did you see them in pairs replacing the work that a single man had done previously?
