On a section dedicated to offering alternative explanations to sexism for the gender gap in tech, James writes:
>Extraversion expressed as gregariousness rather than assertiveness. Also, higher agreeableness.
This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading.
