How Do You Communicate as a Woman in Academia?

Letter Twenty-Eight: Dear I Communicate like a Girl

Recognizing that there is an impact to others when asking them to do something (often deemed a women’s communication style), is not wrong.

Adding in signs of emotions through exclamation marks or emojis (another “marker” of women’s communication), is not wrong.

Acknowledging that other people’s schedules might not be able to accommodate our ask (yet again another marker), is not wrong.

Positioning a statement or opinion as your perspective, not the objective Truth, is not wrong. (I hope to have effective made my point by now)
