When an incompetent man gets promoted it's all "Peter Principle, brogrammer, Dilbert joke, hurr durr."

When an incompetent woman gets promoted, it's because she's a woman.

Can't it be both? Men tend to be more aggressive, so the Peter Principle is more likely to apply to them.

Parden? I'm talking about people getting promoted into positions they aren't qualified for and sinking companies. I really don't care about your sex, race or who you like to invite into bed. I'd rather be on a winning team.

Maybe a little data might help your point be taken more seriously.

All kinds of idiots get promoted above their capacities. Women aren't special in that regard.
