This is what's scary: women still face a very thick glass ceiling in business (not men - the flip scenario comparisons are baseless and for the most part insulting to women, including those who smoke).

More importantly, is it OK that women make up less than 5% of Fortune 500 CEO positions? That's not sad?

To clarify, there's a huge difference between unqualified and less qualified. I would never say men/women are unqualified to do anything...

Fact: There are women who are qualified to be CEO of Fortune 500s.

Assuming selection from the above, she would be more qualified since she would be more likely to 1) be passionate about the product, 2) be an actual consumer of the product, 3) be able to empathize with users of the product, 4) better understand internal value tied to the product...the list goes on.
