In my male-dominated workplace, I witnessed a woman just about break down when she tried to explain her frustrations on this subject: "When a man's assertive and headstrong, he's a leader. When a woman does the same, she's a bitch." What's unfortunate is that I found this insightful only a couple of short years ago. She's not wrong, and it made me respect the women I work with even more. Now I wonder about other little subtleties innate to every single "professional" interaction that I have the pleasure of experiencing as a white male.
