Women Climb The Corporate Ladder Faster By Sleeping With Their Bosses - Chidi Nnabu

Under a post discussing the Equatorial Guinea sextape scandal, a comment read, “Ask yourself why women go higher and faster in a corporate organization.” This remark implies that women achieve career advancement through inappropriate relationships with their superiors, rather than through skill and hard work.

This harmful stereotype dismisses the genuine efforts and accomplishments of women in the workplace, reducing their successes to unfounded assumptions about personal favors. Such comments not only undermine women’s hard-earned achievements but also foster a culture of gender bias and suspicion. Especially in light of scandals like this one, remarks like these fuel unfair stereotypes that contribute to inequality and discourage women from pursuing higher positions, regardless of their qualifications and dedication.
