<b><i>At the Intersection:</i></b> Are You a 'Manterrupter'?
This is Doug, and I'm going to be flying the airplane in this post instead of Pam Woldow, who usually pens this column. Pam is standing by me, as usual with a wealth of valuable and timely information, but she's going to hold her tongue. Why? Because research proves the likelihood that if she tries to make her ideas heard, she will learn the perils of “speaking while female,” as researcher Sheryl Sandberg and Wharton professor Adam Grant put it in a recent New York Times op-ed piece. The odds are that Pam would either be “manterrupted,” “mansplained” or “bropropiated.” If she held her ground and insisted on air time, she would likely be labeled as “difficult” or “aggressive.” Either way, in the battle for leverage among powerful players, all too often, women end up as the losers.
On the other hand, as a guy, my utterances are more likely to earn full faith and credit from the professional power elite, just because I said 'em.
