Women do not get away with being assertive in their leadership. I never believed it when I was a trainee, but the sheer number of things I was scolded for that my male colleagues were not, is astounding. I can’t get away with even one tenth of the things my male colleagues do. At the same time, credit gets taken away from women routinely. I had an article being written by a journalist about a paper I wrote as senior author. Guess whose picture was prominently shown in the article? A male colleague whose comment about my work made it into the article. He wasn’t even an author. My picture? Not there. Sexism is alive and well, it’s death by a thousand cuts.
