      It’s mostly men thinking yes she’s smart but not enough to lead a team or handle a crisis or lead an investors meeting. It’s a doubt aimed

      The women you see who end up leading are the hardest women. The “nice” ones stay pretty much in the same position.

      And is this not the case for men? Can softies get leadership positions if they're male?

      In comparison, yes. A man who is rather “chill”, is more likely to get a team lead position.

      To be fair though, it’s all about individuals who can create an atmosphere. Some can and do run things fairly, and some don’t.

      I think more men are likely to be assertive than women, tbh, but if this causes a perception that women generally aren't, it's a problem.

      Are not following their preconceived destiny. Should be harmless to know those things but when it’s a mindset, it’s hindering progress.

      This is the problem. Seeing gender differences as putting M&W in two categories rather than as overlapping populations.

          Exactly. This is what people found so hard to understand. Saying fewer women interested didn't mean ones in the job weren't!

          I think we disagree profoundly here. I don't think we can get rid of gender or that we need to. But that we need to recognise the individual
