That sounds interesting. Have any sources? I'd like to read up about this.

I could not find the source, nor the original news article that I read.

But while looking, I instead found research that slightly contradicted my current understanding of the subject. They[1,2] claimed that there is no difference between female and male management in how they discriminate. They say that both genders are equally bad in creating equality in the work space (deciding hiring or pay rate).

So I still stand by that we need to change people rather than men, but thanks for pushing me to look for sources.
