Agreeable in the Workplace 

~ Clarissa

We found that men who expressed a gender-non-congruent trait, namely agreeableness, experienced an objective backlash effect compared with dominant men, whereas women who expressed a gender-non-congruent trait, namely dominance, did not experience a backlash effect compared with agreeable women.

I’m posting this because a friend and I were recently wondering about the same thing. The world seems A LOT more ready for dominant women than it is for agreeable men. People seem to judge nice, kind, peaceful men in the workplace very harshly. And that’s wrong and should stop.

  3. I’m a pretty dominant woman — outspoken, and I get shit done. That worked well for me when I was chair. Except that the provost and associate provost didn’t like my dominant attitude, and now I’m not chair anymore.
