I write about mental health on the internet. I do this writing to help destigmatize mental illness and also to help those who are like me live better lives by seeing where I mess up. Typically, for this magazine, I write about activism in higher education. This month might seem like a departure from that topic—but it really isn't. This column is about how to push back against the gendered expectations that women do more work to succeed in similar ways as our male colleagues; that women never say “no” to things, lest we never get asked again; and the fear that if we don't answer an email right away, we'll be perceived as rude or disorganized.
