A sort of accommodation is made by the men for the women: they make space for us. they are ever-so-slightly polite, we are ever-so-slightly grateful. When we stand up at the end of a meeting, we all give ourselves a metaphorical shake that is only partly the relief of having concluded our business: we are all released from the effort of fitting ourselves together. When men speak in these meetings, women relax; when women speak, men grow tense. I have the impression that they never know what a woman is going to say, whereas they are reasonably sure what a man will address himself to and how he will do it. So are the women; for them, too, men tend to be predictable. Women listen to women with a different kind of attention, and part of it may be loyalty to our gender; we want all of us to do well, as if we have the esprit de corps of subalterns among generals.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Anne Truitt" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/anne-truitt/we-tend-to-mix-genders-when-we-arrange-ourselves-around-a-table-for/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/741/anne-truitt-16251_art-world_we-tend-to-mix-genders-when-we-arrange-o_1997497.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/741/anne-truitt-16251_art-world_we-tend-to-mix-genders-when-we-arrange-o_1997497.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/741/anne-truitt-16251_art-world_we-tend-to-mix-genders-when-we-arrange-o_1997497.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“We tend to mix genders when we arrange ourselves around a table for meetings.
