Gender politics revisited

Turns out that differences in pay for women versus men aren't just a matter of women failing to be assertive enough. It seems that women may be accurately anticipating the "she's a bitch" effect. :)

*rolls eyes*

Just my shorthand for what the article described. 'member?:

Woman requests higher salary

-> woman more assertive

-> manager regards woman as "bitchy"

-> manager less inclined to work with woman

-> woman's career suffers

= "she's a bitch" effect
