On: The More Gender Equality, the Fewer Women in STEM ...

"Men in general, are more aggressive and assertive when it comes to pay increases."

Isn't there a study that said women ask for pay raises at the same rate as men, but they are granted them less often?

The way you ask can be just as important as asking. Hence, my comment.

Isn't there another study that said that women were punished for being aggressive like a male in the form of lower performance reviews?

Surely it would be more productive to actually link the studies than repeatedly post this rhetorical question.

Consider the reverse. A female boss, and a male being aggressive in wanting a pay rise. How do you think she would respond? Or even just consider a woman going to another woman for a pay rise. Do you think being more aggressive would work or not?
