“Research confirms incredible double standards women face in both public and professional settings. In a 2017 study, researchers found that men’s use of angry tones in a mock jury experiment increased their credibility & ability to persuade others”

“As Sandberg, former Meta COO wrote: When a woman speaks in professional settings, she walks a tightrope. Either she’s barely heard or she’s judged as too aggressive. When a man says virtually the same thing, heads nod in appreciation for his idea”

“For example, R.G. was advised to “appear humbler and more grateful” to appease more-senior department members who would be voting on her tenure and promotion. They also suggested she organize one-to-one meetings with these men to obtain support.“

“On numerous occasions, A.B. has been advised to act in an appeasing way, ensuring egos were not harmed and giving deference to long-held ideas to keep male establishment figures cooperative and supportive”
