A recent study conducted at Brigham Young University and Princeton has revealed that significant gender inequality still exists for women when debating issues in mixed-gender settings. According to new research, when compared to men, women are less inclined to speak and share their opinions when they're outnumbered. Given the importance of speech as a means for self-actualization and group decision making, the study shows there's still much work to be done to ensure equal representation at any kind of bargaining table.
