"Rules" are not always true and set in stone because nearly everything is negotiable. Also, we are not here to “ask” for permission to achieve pay parity.
Let’s shift from following unexamined “rules” towards advocating and negotiating for more--not only for ourselves, but for all women and all intersections of our community, including women of color, differently abled, working mothers, and marginalized women-identifying people.
Some women hold themselves back from negotiating because of their fear of...
