Did the above line from the article strike anyone else as flagrantly sexist?
"There is also a special problem for some young women, namely those with especially docile temperaments. They aren't always well-suited to professional careers, like making hard sales or managing grown men, which require much confidence and sometimes even exercising authority."
Yes, dripping with it.
Although more condescending than outright sexist. I'm guessing the author comes from a privileged background.

There's arguably some sexism too, but speculating that there's a class of young people that finds subordination difficult and even that there might be more young men in this category than young women strikes me as reasonable. Sexism would be looking at a young man and assuming that he's unlikely to make a good subordinate based on his gender.
But you don't need a new throwaway account for each "bold" statement you make. Speak up, though. The world needs more people waking others up.
