Got a solid refresher today that being a female leader is tough and that emailing in a way that meets the needs for my role or asks for action is seen as aggressive. However, if I was a man it would be have been seen as taking initiative. So I just wanted to say that if you are the same boat, you are not alone. Stay strong.

Such a Deja vu feel I got on reading this. And you know what, I don’t care anymore. The decks are stacked so high against us that it’s better to not give f about it rather care or hope one day you can overcome. At least I can sleep in peace with this mindset rather thinking I did something wrong or I should change or fit in or adapt to different leadership style …f that.
