Double Standards Holding Women Back: How Gender Bias Impacts Women’s Personal and Professional Lives

From the way they dress to the way they speak, women are held to different standards than men. Women are often subjected to double standards in both their personal and professional lives, and these double standards can have a significant impact on their mental health, self-esteem, and opportunities. In the workplace, women are often expected to strike a delicate balance between being assertive and being likable, a balance that men are not held to. Studies have shown that assertive women are more likely to be viewed as unlikable or unpleasant, while assertive men are perceived as confident and in control. This creates a difficult situation for women who want to assert themselves and advocate for their ideas and positions in the workplace. <a href="https://medium.com/@inklady20895/double-standards-holding-women-back-how-gender-bias-impacts-womens-personal-and-professional-6fcb60edd6c3">Website</a>
