Refining the Methodology
Mihika G -
To add onto my last post, I want to start brainstorming key words and/or phrases that I can flag in the literature.
Gender Marking Terms:
- female
- lady
- woman
- girl
- madam/ma’am
- mother
- wife
Adjectives:
Positive:
- strong
- powerful
- confident
- decisive
- bold
- commanding
- authoritative
- experienced
- tough
- leader
Negative:
- emotional
- moody
- hysterical
- shrill
- nagging
- inexperienced
- new
- bossy
- aggressive
- cold
- unlikable
- overly ambitious
- calculated
- weak
- timid
Competency Framing
- Questions when discussing candidate as opposed to statements –> flag for any question marks in the absence of a direct, non-rhetorical question
Feminization of Men, as a Weakness
- Not man enough (being a man)
- little girl
- wearing the pants
I am presently unsure on whether I should limit my search to a few key, specific words, or if I should expand the scope by including more terms.
