like i speak in a more traditionally masculine way and tend to keep a straight face (sometimes referred to as an rbf) and the reality is that if a man was speaking the way that i was, he would’ve been hired on the spot for being assertive
just had an interviewer tell me to stop getting defensive and basically implying that i’m not prepared enough for an opportunity that i have EXTENSIVE experience in. i hate getting stereotyped as a stupid girl bc i’m young and a woman
