      Golf clubs are super niche and self-selecting.

      There are almost no spaces left which are easily discoverable by "analog" means without relying at all on social media.

      The UK used to have a very strong pub and club culture. That's been collapsing for most of this century - some of it helped by government legislation.

      This hasn't changed direction recently.

      Men are judged more harshly. Men need to pay a photographer to have their picture taken.

      > This double disadvantages ..women?

      Sorry, I don't follow you.

      Especially since women's unrealistic judgement is to blame. Women are, objectively, rating men all wrong:

      (I just pulled the first article that has the famous Okcupid graph.)

      For interpretation: https://www.stevestewartwilliams.com/p/sex-differences-in-work-preferences

      (seems like paulg got the chart from this guy's tweet, which refers to the article I link above, which is informed by the study you linked to)

    • Invictus0Nov 2025

      Not op but there is some evidence emerging that women have an advantage in hiring in media and academia.
