To sum up, the study was done by a Norwegian comedian, who asked professionals (psychologists and doctors) from Los Angeles, Cambridge, and Norway about their views on gender inequality in the workplace and it's origins.
The answers could be put in 2 groups:
- Group A: The origins of gender roles are mainly biological and/or evolutionary. Lippa (2009) proves this theory: he has created a survey regarding this topic in which people from over 50 countries took part, the results show clear cross-cultural differences between men and women.
- Group B: Gender roles are created by society and/or culture - people make them, therefore they can be changed. This opinion is gaining popularity nowadays, according to one of the psychologists it is a generally accepted fact nowadays that there are no differences between the brains of men and women.
