Miglior citazione da El arte de no ser malinterpretada: Comunicación y liderazgo femenino
La asertividad se sitúa justo en medio de la pasividad y la agresividad; es defender lo que quieres con respeto. Si logras ese equilibrio, rompes el sesgo porque no confirmas ni que eres una 'floja' ni que eres una 'mandona'.

According to the script, women frequently use the first person plural ("we") to avoid appearing presumptuous and to maintain a collaborative, humble image. However, this linguistic style can lead to "testimonial injustice," where a woman's individual contribution is diluted. Managers or colleagues may perceive her as just a small part of the machinery rather than the driving force behind a project, ultimately leading to her contributions being undervalued.
Benevolent sexism refers to a protective or chivalrous tone that appears complimentary but is rooted in the belief that women are less competent or need special care. The script describes it as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" because it places women on a narrow pedestal of being "good" or "fragile," which limits their authority. Studies mentioned in the script suggest that accepting this behavior can lead to decreased ambition and poorer performance on cognitive tasks due to induced dependency.
The "broken record" technique involves calmly and firmly repeating your position without getting angry or distracted by provocations, which is useful when being interrupted or pressured. "Fogging," or simulated compliance, involves agreeing with any part of a criticism that might be true (e.g., "It's true I am a perfectionist") while reframing it as a strength (e.g., "and that ensures the final delivery is error-free"). Both techniques allow a person to maintain their axis and avoid defensive arguments.
To claim authority and space, the script suggests several "kinesic" adjustments: sitting with shoulders back and arms away from the body rather than shrinking inward, keeping the head neutral and straight during negotiations instead of tilting it (which can signal submission), and maintaining a "work gaze" that does not fall below the other person's eye level. Additionally, using the "steeple" hand gesture (joining fingertips) projects security, while avoiding "adapter gestures" like playing with hair or jewelry prevents an image of nervousness or insecurity.
Constantly apologizing for minor things, such as sending a work email or being slightly late, reinforces an image of incompetence and suggests one is "asking permission to exist." By switching to "thank you"—for example, saying "thank you for your patience" instead of "sorry I'm late"—the speaker changes the power dynamic. This shift acknowledges the other person without lowering the speaker's own status or acting as if they are in debt.
