This article is absurd.

> No one writes articles telling men how they’re damaging their career prospects by using the wrong words.

Be real. There are whole books devoted to this topic. And there are whole sections in bookstores devoted to such books. There are magazines that have been talking about these things in every single issue for decades.

"How to change your behavior to get ahead in business" is an enormous business. And historically it has catered mostly to men. It tells them how to dress, who to meet, how to talk, etc., etc.

Maybe the author needs to read a few business books?

This seems guilty of a willful misreading. It's true that there are business books that tell men they are doing x wrong. But the comparison is with other men who are doing it right. Whereas the type of article this piece highlights is telling women that they are doing it wrong by not being like men.
