She recounts this incident in her memoir "Good Power," released last month. She actually gained weight after that conversation, so her weight didn't hinder her own career. But Rometty acknowledges that women are judged more harshly than men on appearance in the workplace, and she laments that nothing has changed

Bold faced lie, you open with a counter example then say but women most affected!

"Heavier women tend to earn less," the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis said in a 2011 report, which analyzed the results of multiple studies on the topic. "These penalties have not only increased over the past few decades, but continue to increase as women age."

And morbidly obese women tend to be black, Hispanic, and on multiple government assistance programs. It’s the same reason they have higher pregnancy complications for “minorities”.

However, men don't seem to face a similar weight bias. Some studies even found that white males seen as overweight actually earn more. However, the wage penalty for women seen as overweight was consistent in each study.

Because the measurement scale for men is beyond retarded. I’m 6’1 and 225, which classifies me as “obese” I also can still bench 365 and workout regularly. They literally do not account for muscle which men have on AVERAGE 40% more than women.

Economist David Lempert, who worked for the U.S. government for over a decade, found in his analysis that an increase of 10% in a woman's body mass decreased her income by 6%. This wage cut comes on top of the fact that women already earn 20% less on average than men in the U.S.

Ah yes the 70 cents on the dollar argument that’s another bold faced lie.
