Men are often given preferential treatment due to the underlying structures of the patriarchy. ## Commonly held beliefs that form gender bias - Women are less emotionally stable than men and let their emotions impact their client relationships and decision-making ability. - Women with children do not want to travel/be away from their children. - Women with children must plan in advance/cannot travel at short notice. - By making this decision I am looking after the woman’s best interest. - Men are willing to travel at short notice as they do not have the same commitments as women. - Men with spouses/long term partners are able to give more commitment to their job as their wife will look after the personal commitments.
