Yes, this #sociology study (& others) show #StridentWomen are punished. Of 2,106 fake resumes, men's grade average doesn't matter but women with high grades 2X less likely to get job call back; in STEM less 3X less likely https://twitter.com/PhDpeeps/status/977407661380485120 …

In a related study, "employers value competence & commitment in considering male applicants. But when evaluating female applicants, they focus on 'perceived likeability.'" So when the Chief Scientist calls us #StridentWomen, it's no wonder women are denied opportunities.
It is simultaneously validating and distressing. So much wasted potential, with awful gender stereotypes being imposed on women from the very top!
I'm often told that I have a 'nice smile'. I wonder how related that is to the fact that I've found it really hard to be taken seriously in certain work environments.

Students always loved me and said I was a good one. But I did have manager who I felt did not take my technical skills seriously (and my ambitions, and my judgement) as they should have
This is appalling...
Its good to see #sociology research validating phenomena so many #WomeInStem have experienced. I've seen this one in action way too many times. Was actually told at CSIRO I needed to lower the quality of my work as I was making the men feel uncomfortable. Sigh.
Must depend on the job, right? These aren't intern positions at law firms?
It doesn't depend on the job. Trust me on this one.
