Women who negotiate are perceived more positively than society often suggests from "summary" of Women Don't Ask by Linda Babcock,Sara Laschever

It's a common misconception that women who negotiate are viewed negatively by others. However, research shows that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, studies have found that women who negotiate for higher salaries are actually perceived more positively by their bosses. This goes against the prevailing belief that women who ask for more are seen as pushy or aggressive. One study cited in the book found that when women negotiated for higher pay, they were actually rated as more competent and deserving compared to those who did not negotiate. This challenges the assumption that women who ask for what they want are penalized for being assertive. In reality, women who negotiate are often respected for advocating for themselves and their worth. Another interesting finding from the book is that women who negotiate are not only viewed more positively, but they also tend to achieve better outcomes. By asking for what they want, women are able to secure higher salaries and better benefits. This suggests that negotiating can actually be advantageous for women in the long run, despite the fears of backlash or negative perceptions.
  1. The idea that women who negotiate are perceived negatively by society is a myth. In reality, women who advocate for themselves through negotiation are often respected and rewarded for their efforts. By challenging this misconception and encouraging more women to negotiate for what they deserve, we can help close the gender pay gap and empower women to achieve greater success in their careers.
