It is true that women are more likely to be labeled negatively for the same actions that would make a man ambitious. But, the stereotypes go both ways. As a woman, it’s using empathy as an advantage rather than a weakness. For men, it’s important to remember that this applies, too. It’s OK to be a caregiver in life or in work. It’s taken years for me to both realize and appreciate: It is possible to be both nice and strong.
