Will women be able to dominate the boardroom?
An article written by a linguistics expert who undertook a study into the speech patterns of men and women and which was published in a famous newspaper explains why women have difficult using humour during meetings. It turns out they are poorer at using it to lead a boardroom because they try to be self-deprecating. The linguistic expert tried also to figure out why they try to get their colleagues on-side by using self-deprecating language. He claims that women traditionally haven't been part of the leadership tribe.
I agreed with him indeed it's just "few years" or "few decades" women are on "same level" as men, women still have to develop a sense of humour and try to use it in right way to lead a group.
So far, women have used humour just to get their man's attention. When women are skilled with it and the technique well assimilated, dear men they will overtake us. :)
Thanks to my teacher Susan :)
The first sentence needed a bit of rearrangement to make proper sense, although I could work out what you meant. It just wasn't ordered quite correctly. I have suggested a different order, but there are many other ways it could have been written. Perhaps there are too many ideas in the one sentence - that's why it got confused.
Interesting thoughts......however I would beg to differ regarding your argument that women use humour to attract a man. I would say it's the other way round!
