[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, there are situations where I think it would behoove men to hedge, ask questions, be less direct. I think those speech styles are effective in many cases. And completely agree that there's a HUGE double standard. I sometimes see articles or advice to women that they should NOT use speech styles that are judged as "feminine" -- they should rather be direct, blunt, etc. And there's a trope that if women do NOT speak directly and bluntly, they won't get promotions or pay raises (iow, a narrative that moves the blame from systematic sexism and suggests that if individual women would just act like men, they would not experience that kind of discrimination or double standard). So damned if you do, damned if you don't.[/quote]
