I once had a woman postdoc supervisor who suggested I use more exclamation marks and smilies in my emails so I didn& #39;t come off so abrasive. I think about that a lot! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">

Dear Twitter, I would love to tell you I told her exactly what I thought of that suggestion but sadly, I did not. Even the most feminist of us can& #39;t always afford to say what we want, best I could do is work to create a culture where no one else has to swallow such bullshit
