@annahavron That’s quite a thought-provoking question. I wonder: With an enormous history and current presence of all kinds of discrimination (against women, queer or trans people, folks with appearances that differ from white male), ethnic groups and so on, can we even ask that question with the word ‘person’ in place? I think (in my world at least) we all have a starting point that the man is the leader and the woman or other person some kind of adjunct, so we probably tend to assume that a man is ‘in charge’. Would the qualities of what makes a person seem in charge differ from one ‘person’ to another? These are things well worth pondering. Refer also all those ‘blind’ studies that show academic papers written by an author presumed to be male are ‘better’ than the same paper written by someone presumed to be female. Thank you for posing the question and causing me to realise these things. 😀
