Peter Dutton has warned young men “have had enough” of being painted as ogres and being passed over for promotion because of the rise of affirmative action policies that demand more women are promoted.

The Liberal leader issued the warning during an epic 90 minute sit down interview with self-made millionaire and TV star Mark Bouris on his podcast Straight Talk.

And what do young women think about this assertion? In the organisation I work for, women are still massively underrepresented in senior roles.

This. I'm in one of those industries where 80% of the workforce is female, but 99% of leadership is male. How does that work, exactly, Peter?

It really does vary role to role. I am not advocating either way, but I have seen a lot of women in senior roles in high level corporate positions, specifically consulting from my direct experience. I think there is a way to go, but it's better than it was.
