Why do so many women — including famous ones — fall into the trap of apologising for themselves?

"Even at high level executive positions I have heard women say 'I am sorry ...' when men in equivalent positions wouldn't have.'Sorry, can I sit here?'

"Some women say sorry for things they don't need to say sorry for, [and] they say sorry in a way that sounds as though they are apologising for themselves," Ms Green said.Indeed, a widely-referenced study by Karina Schumann and Michael Ross found that, rather than men being reluctant to apologise, men and women simply have different ideas about which behaviours constitute an apology.

I tend to say it quite a lot too., I’m not a woman...is there a study confirming the article’s POV or is this just clickbait? There’s more important & real issues of violence against women & inequality to discuss right now than this pointless drivel

'Sorry'? Haw haw haw. There isn't even such a word in the feminist vocabulary

ABC news what a joke. This is the news you feel the need to put up to cause arguments between genders now? No wonder we can’t get past it. Grow up

Now do an article about women who find it psychologically impossible to ever say sorry.

ABC is a media outlet, funded by thr taxpayer. Not a social engineer that is entitled to sprout shit. This shit will stop.

What I find fascinating about Swift’s career, especially in the early years, is how many men assisted her, even with the simple things like teaching her to play the guitar. Gratitude and gratefulness are not modern words like ‘misogyny’ but they hold so much more value.

Really? I understood feminists only say sorry as a last resort,eg if they actually get caught having sex with their boss while concurrently in a relationship.Otherwise it is more like ‘Don’t be ridiculous you misogynist, you’re making it up,it’s all in your head, you need help!’

They should say 'Fork the patriarchy!' I know the punchline...

Women don't say sorry, it is not in their vocabulary or genetic make up!

Generalisation is the essence of bigotry Taxpayers should NOT be forced to pay for this vacuous drivel

Started by following heaps of ABC News journos. Didn’t want to miss breaking news. Then after a journo posted a plainly anti-male opinion piece, I unfollowed them. Guess what, I now only have one ABC twitter handle to unfollow. Yup, your “news” piece did it for me. Unfollowed

You guys are really pushing tabloid shit lately. How about some actual news. Not this gossip fodder. I know you guys are suffering via budget cuts, but that is no excuse to lower your standards.

Took my ex wife 20 years to say it the first time.

Overthinking it?

What a ridiculous article! This is no a “women” thing Men do exactly the same. 🤦‍♂️

ABC have mental issues. Stop doing the work of the devil trying to create a divide between man and woman.

Off camera, director Lana Wilson can be heard saying: 'It's because we're trained to say sorry'. First world problems.

I’m “sorry” my tax money goes here.

Because they have not been taught to be assertive.

No such thing as a slut? Anyone who says that should apologise.

We have have come to planet earth to know who we are ! If choosing every meal at the restaurant , we do not know what our preferences are . We do not know if we are Bill Smith or John Doe. That’s not helpful !

Is it a bad thing to be a slut ? Well it’s up to you , not me . But here’s my opinion: we come to planet earth ( ether comes from earth word ) to choose from the everything , not to choose everything, but to choose FROM the everything. If choosing all, we do not know who we are !

Now is it bad to be a slut ? ( many casual partners?) that’s a matter of opinion( its subjective & we as individuals ‘each ‘ get to decide what is good or bad ; not Miss Swift.

As for the pushing of divide between males & females , it’s getting ( yawn ) old. There’s nothing wrong with a male dominating a little ( not a lot, just a little) Any thing / one is suppose to dominate if it’s stronger. Such as a parent over a child , a lion over a cub etc .

* stars

and Japanese too?

Yes dear

Let me see, the heading here at ABC tells you what to do. I have a problem just with the heading lol. We don’t need telling what to say! As for miss Swift , where do I start. First of all pretty much most ‘stares’ are a tool to influence ideas( brain wash you)

Dumb media

Utter BS article. When the author is ready to come back to reality we can see some real journalism. Defund the ABC, my taxes should not pay for this 'news'.

Documentary. 85 mins. One offhand comment. Whole article.

I’ve never heard a feminist say sorry.

This is not news. This is badly-expressed ideology. Taxpayer-funded, at that.

taylorswift13 is now a leading authority, just like her Hollywood counterparts. Phht.

Women are more sensitive than men. This is not a mystery. What's a mystery is how so many educated women ignore biology and history. We are .001% of the human experience. Men are required to be less sensitive so it's perfectly natural that women will say 'sorry' a lot more.

What an absurdly sexist piece of nonsense. Hopelessly flawed premise followed by self congratulatory 'analysis' that reinforces cult dogma. Why must EVERYTHING be viewed through the warped lens of feminist ideology? auspol outsiders pmlive feminismiscancer

We still don’t know why we existPhysicists at CERN have observed a property of antihydrogen that had previously only been predicted, reaffirming a fundamental symmetry of nature and prolonging the question of how we exist.

Celeste Barber's fundraiser money still hasn't been spent, here's whyThe Australian comedian's bushfire appeal attracted more than $51 million in donations, but distributing that money isn't as simple as clicking donate. Here’s why the abc is too lazy to think of a decent headline Suffice to say. She’s a legend. A fucktonne if money was raised, now it has to be distributed a bit differently than imagined. Hence legalities. Hope everyone has learned a valuable lesson and has stopped any donating, unless for tax purposes of course

Why it's important to 'shop around' for a funeral homePeople feel comfortable discussing the intricacies of an event that honours love, but when it comes to celebrating someone's life, it's almost taboo. If you can get someone outside your immediate family to arrange or at least be there you will save a fortune. My brother was a funeral director & it's all about the money. Funeral funds/insurance are the biggest rip offs
