One of the faulty pillars of GirlBoss feminism is “A man would never say this so neither should you.” It would actually be great if men started saying things like “no worries if not,” “sorry,” or prefacing an opinion with “I think,” b/c they have a rightful place in communicationhttps://twitter.com/kaylatmf/status/1322881282737659904 …

My old roommate had a big corporate job and clearly drank this koolaid, constantly complaining about women “showing weakness” by saying things like “I think,” before stating an opinion and she was...a fucking nightmare.

I'm a man and I often find myself being too cautious or apologizing too much in work emails etc. Going straight to the point, taking for granted that's just your viewpoint, something you can say and take responsibility for, maybe it's.. not bad and something everyone could do.

To clarify, I get your point and I agree. Just thinking out loud.

Literally all of this. Male colleagues who don't use softening phrases always come off as so off-putting and seeming like giant assholes--esp. In text based communication. I have to remind myself to not take it that way
