What your wife needs is not someone white knighting for her (you or this article). She needs to take lessons in assertiveness to build her confidence so she can get her views across and not be ignored from basics like a weak voice or poor posture. It's not rocket science and it's not a huge male conspiracy against women.
What is true is women are less likely to be assertive, in life and in the workplace. And that can be fixed. It just won't be easy.

You're introducing your own conception of her, and attributing things to her that were no where in his post. Her lack of assertiveness, confidence, weak voice, poor posture, etc were created purely in your mind.
- brador 12y agoShe's not speaking up for herself. That's pretty much the definition of lack of assertiveness. Lack of confidence, weak voice, poor posture are highly likely based on my experiences with people who lack assertiveness. I'm not saying I'm right, but it's highly unlikely I'm wrong.
