Why are married women more respected in the workplace?

Historically speaking, marriage has been viewed as a milestone of maturity and stability, which can lead to assumptions that married women, are more reliable, committed and/or responsible. Personally though I believe these stereotypes are outdated and should be, though it can still influence how women are viewed in professional settings.

Many years ago, most single women only went to university and got jobs in order to meet eligible bachelors. There’s probably some hangover from that. If a married woman keeps showing up for work, she’s probably going to be more dedicated than the desk-leaning giggle bunny.

Maybe because they don’t behave like others do and they respect themselves

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

From what I've seen irl, sadly, they are not.

[OlderAndWiser]

Most of them don’t waste time flirting and trying to get laid.

I don't know about more respected but they seem to advance upward quicker

[butterly248]

From my experience everyone treats people badly no matter what

[war_daddy]

because they're not so crap that they can't find someone to marry them

Probably because it's believed they're much less likely to sleep with the boss to get ahead.

Married women more respected than single women anywhere and everywhere.
