Working women hate the fact that their work, is seen as less relevant than the work of their male colleagues. Women get less salary, less promotion, less education options. They don't get the cool jobs. On top: women tend to have jobs in specific sectors like retail, education and care. You will not see them in the rich sectors as mining, chemicals, finance. If it comes to the jobs, women tend to choose for good jobs, but hardly ever the top.
