Female incompetence in the Workplace

Here is another example of the seductive, distracting businesswoman. This time it is Jan from the hit TV show The Office.  If you're familiar with the show, you know she was very distracting to Michael's ability to work productively and she caused many office conflicts.  Also, while being far more intelligent than Michael, Jan is less successful.

The below picture shows a female boss who wants to hug after group meetings.  This is playing on the stereotype that women are more emotional and less logical.  This cartoon seems to imply that women cannot be stern or strict in a position of power as a boss should be.
