you missed that as the article says, if women bring up salary issues, then that is seen as very negative. so in order for a woman to be able to change that, the rest of us need to change our attitude towards women about money first.

you can not expect a person to speak up about something when they have to fear negative consequences. we first need to ensure that there are no negative consequences, and then assure those affected that this change happened. a way to do that in this case is by stating salaries up-front.




> if women bring up salary issues, then that is seen as very negative

I have a hard time believing that this is actually the case, at least more than for men.


And that disbelief is part of why its so hard to correct.


You could provide evidence or other kinds of arguments to bring that claim from the realm of beliefs into the realm of facts.



Right back atcha.


The burden of providing a convincing argument for a claim tends to lie with the one making that claim.
