Yes! I have to stop myself from using exclamations and smiley faces so I don't sound "demanding" .

don’t apologise for being you, don’t apologise for being “dramatic” or “emotional”. be firm, stand your ground and don’t fall for any BS.

So in a Women’s Reading Group course in law school we learned never to type in an email “just”. For example, “I just wanted to see how you had progressed or this or that.” or “I was just thinking maybe we could do this or that.” I used to catch myself making myself small via email in that way and have now eliminated “just”. But I still love emojis on text and Reddit. 😉

I can only manage this in an email setting, and typically only with work. I have been trying to catch it more often when I type messages to anyone, but catch me IRL and I can't help myself it's just so ingrained.

The hand shaking with the coffee mug at the end, though. Because as a woman there can be a backlash for expecting equal treatment and equal respect.

I’ve made sure to edit my emails before sending, too!
