This article in The Atlantic, quotes a study which suggests a strong percentage of girls still feel more comfortable with men in roles of authority: politicians, heads of student councils, CEO's, etc.

In this interview on City TV's Breakfast Television, we talk about why that trend is so hard to break, and why it still exists at all.
