What kind of man only works part time?

This is a succinct article highlighting research from Stanford University showing that men as a group are penalised for having part time work in their resume due to the breadwinner expectation.

"He found female candidates [with resumes that contained part time work] were twice as likely to receive callbacks than men. In fact, men were just as unlikely to be called back for an interview as the long-term unemployed."

A choice quote:

"As an example, one interviewee – a recruitment manager – rhetorically asked: "What type of a grown man doesn’t have a full-time job?"

Another participant – a talent acquisition specialist – said: "I would definitely look at [a man working part time] a little bit differently … I would definitely question that a little bit more."

Both of those decision-makers are women."
