It's not just women who prefer this communication style, by the way. As a male, I find the constant jockying for position among other men to be tiresome and stressful. It's particularly acute among other coders. To be honest, it's also one of the main reasons I don't maintain many friendships with men.
There are others still who are often excluded in this kind of environment: minorities, LGBTs, and people who are shy by nature.
- golemotron 12y agoI feel the same way, but I think it is wrong to consider that style bad. We shouldn't have to contain our natural exuberance and energy all the time. A true diversity would provide some place for it.
- jnbiche 12y agoFair point, and I don't consider it "bad" in the workplace. I've worked in places where there was an abundance of different styles (in academia), and it worked great. I'm actually kind of trying to return to academia (as staff, probably) for that reason.
