If women adopted masculine communication styles, it was found that they were even less likely to be listened to than if they followed traditional culture expectations. Though the expectations of women change when the activity is thought to be a feminine in nature, for example any social setting women are often expected to take the leadership role while in task oriented situations men are. Another interesting finding was that if a woman was, by definition, the leader of the group and a man contributed significantly, he was the perceived leader. Women would need to do all of the work to be considered as the leader (Winter, Neal & Waner, 2001.).............CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? Its like we are shooting ourselves in the foot. Give credit where credit is due! seriously...

That is absolutely rediculous!! SO one man gets credit but a group of women have to share the credit. I read somewhere that if a female has a masculine name they are more likely to get an interview for a job than other women. I don't know the reasoning behind this but I don't like it at all!!
that is terrible. I wonder when we will ever fully get equality with men?
