| It was posted elsewhere here, but I'll reference it: http://www.paulineroseclance.com/pdf/-Langford.pdf "Studies of college students (Harvey, 1981; Bussotti, 1990; Lang- ford, 1990), college professors (Topping, 1983), and successful professionals (Dingman, 1987) have all failed, however, to reveal any sex differ- ences in impostor feelings, suggesting that males in these populations are just as likely as females to have low expectations of success and to make attributions to non-ability related factors." Furthermore: "in male-dominated fields men receive praise and validation much more easily than women do" Do you have anything to back this up? Finally, anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal. > "women in tech are not taken seriously until after they have become successful" I see men dealing with the same thing. They aren't taken seriously until they accomplish something (success being defined as accomplishing something). I'm not saying you are wrong, mind you. You just haven't shown that you are right. |
