If you have never seen a TED Talk, they are a series of talks about some of the most interesting and progressive ideas out there today.
This talk is by the COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg. At about the 6:00 mark she starts to really make the argument for why women aren't making it to the top. She is making the argument that "success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women", ie. men have more positive advantages than women in the workplace. Watch the whole video for a strong argument about why women are holding themselves back, and no it's not a jab at women, it's an argument about how many different and powerful cultural forces push against their advancement and are internalized by women themselves.
