I really appreciate your breakdown of these studies and the assertion. It's a common talking point various social psychology circles, and your breakdown mirrors my own experiences in reading and discussing similar articles. That is to say, people will misrepresent findings of research to suit their narratives, even when they're "trained psychology researchers" who should theoretically be far more capable of understanding their own bias and looking it things through an objective lens. I recently was part of a graduate level seminar discussion class discussing a paper on racial bias, published from University of Washington. The authors of the paper stated that "interest in the concept of microaggressions has increased substantially" and then cited Lilienfeld 2017. I'm familiar with that article, he provided a masterclass breakdown of why the concept of microaggressions lacks any sort of cohesive definition or scientific validity and needs to be entirely scrapped until those concerns can be addressed. Just goes to show how worthless "peer reviewed journal" articles are if social justice oriented social psych academics from UW can cite lilienfeld as a reason for why we should be taking microaggressions seriously.

Critical thinking can reveal a lot of cracks in the armor of social justice concepts.

The perception of assertiveness in men and women has been a subject of study and debate, particularly in the context of leadership and workplace dynamics. Research indicates that while men and women are perceived equally in terms of leadership effectiveness overall, there are nuances. For instance, women are often rated more effective by others but rate themselves less effective compared to men's self-assessments. Additionally, stereotypes persist, with women seen as less assertive than men by male raters, though female raters view women as equally independent and competent in leadership. Gender differences in the perception of assertiveness in social situations are a reflection of broader societal norms and expectations. Studies suggest that women's assertiveness is often interpreted differently than men's, with women sometimes facing backlash for behaviors that are accepted in men. This discrepancy can influence the dynamics of social interactions, where assertive behavior by women may be perceived as aggressive or unfriendly, whereas men may be seen as confident and strong.

We all know why. Some subjects are not allowed to be honestly researched because the results don't fit the NARRATIVE. another one is Race & IQ
