Men are more likely to be able to network in order to help each other rise to the top - golf clubs, Men's clubs etc, that they can be a part of frequently because they don't traditionally have the burden of childcare. Women have fewer career related networking opportunities.
More men do want to spend time with families though and they'll be at a disadvantage too if they do, so the whole culture needs changing. Ad astra per aspera

I suspect if ValentinD or Lily were active right now then a biiig sub-thread would have materialised! Ad astra per aspera
