That’s right. It is the exact opposite to what is presented as the common-sensical solution. We are told to be more assertive, because we are so silly we just can’t figure out that we would automatically get a great deal of what we wanted if only we asked for it. In fact, the deferential women are the ones more likely to get ahead. They’ve got to play the feminine game to a high degree. Even Julia Gillard softened her image, wore make-up and tried to draw attention to the fact that she engages in knitting. It’s all part of the game to give patriarchy more of what it wants — so that it will allow you to get ahead.
