The salary effect isn’t what I was referring to here, though. The submitter said the extra T made her “good at a male dominated subject.” I took that to mean she is more skilled at performing her job than she would be otherwise, rather than that she makes more money than she would otherwise.
Maybe that was a bad example; the salary effect isn’t what I was trying to get at, either.
I think that that kind of gap in assertiveness could affect women’s productivity as well. If you have trouble making your ideas heard in the workplace, then your effectiveness there is diminished. Being assertive about asking questions and taking more responsibility can build skills, too.
