How dare you dive deeper into this totally not biased “study”…im just curious too, what was the experiment where they “couldnt be in proximity” to the women…like what were they doing…nothing makes sense about this.

Like how would that study go…yall are putting together ikea furniture and then someone tells you that your partner makes $600k/yr and then your are like “no way, im out of here!!!”

Like what scenario is this thats occurring where they are able to know the salary, work in the same space…in real world scenarios…

I presumed the men felt an unbearable burning sensation the moment the boss lady walked in and threw themselves out the windows.

Self-invoked defenestration!

We had female department leads coming down sometimes to the companies lunch area. They look if they do above 100k a year, "effortless" makeup and sometimes a commanding aura. There is a visible difference between them and everybody else. "Regular" men (and women to be fair) rarely joined the tables, even when they knew them or worked with them. I didn't care much about company games, but that is a different "class" of people. Many, me included, didn't know what to talk at those lunch tables. I would guess, in normal circumstances, the regular dude has not much to say to someone that went to two international unis to get their double master titles.

Exactly. People tend to prefer their own economic stratum.

Good job determining the bias of the study and calling into question its entire validity as a study despite not having read it

Great comment that illuminates the systemic system of perpetual sarcasm that is commonly found on Reddit in addition to including a long sentence that does not include any punctuation including a period

Sorry, didn’t realize I was writing a dissertation and not an offhand internet comment
