in group settings, men are ( SEVENTY - FIVE PERCENT ) more likely to speak up than women. & when a woman DOES SPEAK UP, it's STATISTICALLY PROBABLE her male counterparts will either 001 . INTERRUPT HER, or 002 . SPEAK OVER HER. it's not because they're rude, it's science. the female voice is scientifically proven to be more difficult for a male brain to register. what does this mean? it means, in THIS WORLD, where men are bigger, stronger, faster, if you're not ready to fight, the silence will kill you. don't let F E A R keep you quiet. you have a voice. so use it . speak up . raise your hands . shout your answers . make yourself HEARD . whatever it takes . just find your voice & when you do , fill the damn silence .
