And even then it's a ridiculous notion. You don't get a free pass from being wrong because of your sex. Even for a day.

It's a problem to assume women are the ones who want a free pass from being wrong. It can only undermine us as serious, rigorous thinkers.pic.twitter.com/lpMPaJMIfw

Women are just as suited to STEM as men. Women should not be corrected when wrong. Pick one.

Helen, I agree with you. I'm talking about an experiment about treatment, not women's capabilities. I am one.

I know. It is nearly always women insisting women shouldn't have anything explained to them by men. I have written much about it. Pls stop.

This would be valid if women were also asked to spend that day not correcting men to assess their own motivations for doing so.

No. That would require the assumption that women are less critical of men's ideas than the other way round & I don't accept this.

I'm talking about behavior, not content or opinions. Men do exhibit more dominance behavior in discussions.

Yes, men are more assertive on average. Not than me but than a lot of women. We can accommodate different styles of speech.
