A woman sits at a desk, holding her glasses and looking thoughtfully into the camera. An open book lies in front of her. The image contains the text: ‘Political socialisation: Why women in leadership positions often adopt a masculine style. #WISOIDEA’.

👩‍💼💬 Why do women in leadership often adopt a more masculine communication style? This study finds that the longer women stay in parliament, the more “masculine” their speech becomes – especially in progressive parties. Even language reflects how power remains gendered. 💭⚖️
