And what we saw was that women, much more than men, were likely to choose basically anything but a female silhouette.

So it could be a male silhouette, it could be a question mark, it could be a random object.

So that is like, of course, you know, this is a more artificial setting.

In real life, it's often difficult to actually hide your gender.

But it's, you know, like there you really see this like behavioral way and where women feel like, okay, maybe I shouldn't really, you know, show my femininity as much in this context.

yeah so one thing like in the final study we um we like we also what we tried to do in this final study was sort of see like okay is it really about this like concern about status in this workplace and what if you're not really concerned about your status anymore um so what we did we showed people

results, ostensibly of like an employee survey, where either, you know, men also amongst other kind of information, men reported on, we told them like men on average report feeling more respected and highly regarded by co-workers than women.

So that was kind of what we saw in Berkeley and other studies.

Or what we told them was

that women basically experience just as much status as men.

And then it was still kind of like this tough kind of context.

But because women experience the same level of respect, we didn't see this like distancing or downplaying of the gender anymore.

Of course, in real life, those things often don't go together.

So kind of like an inherent consequence of this masculinity contest is that women experience less status or anticipate to experience less status.

So I think ultimately what I think this shows is that if you really want to make progress and address inequality, you should also critically look at the kind of norms and what kind of things do we value and reward in this workplace?

And is that truly neutral?

Yeah, I would say how much space is there for vulnerability in your workplace?

When you show vulnerability in a sense like, I don't know, you make a mistake and you're honest about that, your personal life, can you be open about that?

How competitive is it?

And do we really need that?
