95% of the time with stuff like this it is stupidly easy to distinguish female from male writing/speech discrimination here isn’t “I hate women,” it’s “I prefer confidence, straight-talking, self-assuredness” etc., which typically resolve as male traits

women frequently joke about how often they remove exclamation marks, smiley faces, the word “just,” phrases like “if that’s ok with you” etc from their work emails in bids to sound more assertive I do not know any men with this problem

My wife literally ran all her work emails through an AI tone analyzer and re-wrote them to be less tentative, more assertive.

I don't think tone is what's causing this result with resumes. People aren't looking at resumes, seeing feminine coded tone, and throwing them in the reject pile. Mostly when people read resumes they're looking for keywords.

Replying to @sgodofsk @GarrettPetersen and
the simplest explanation is that after years and years of people in tech saying we need more women in tech they are articulating their honest preference for women over men and we should just believe them

hmm sounds like conjecture I’ve done fintech, data, & SaaS, and never worked in a company with more than abt 30% women the data agrees revealed preferences > stated preferences

to what extent are you thinking these are preferences of women vs of employers?

when we see that like 30% of kids taking APCS are women, and then 30% of people majoring in CS are women, and then 30% of people in tech are women, we could conclude that this is the revealed preference of all the schools and employers, or of the people matriculating in them
