Ironic perhaps, when our responses to that stress feed into exactly that debate..</p> <p>I saw this piece in The Guardian today:&nbsp;http://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2015/dec/18/crying-workplace-psychology-sexism-apprentice &nbsp;and was particularly interested in the gender section towards the end. Admittedly, this might be because I tend to diffuse my stress by letting off 'emotional' steam; this seems very natural, authentic response for me-and not an issue of professionalism or gender-stereotyped behaviour at all.</p> <p>Does anyone else have any thoughts?&nbsp;</p> <p>L</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:55:53 GMT Elisabeth Blagrove 8a1785d87042f22201705d63fbe25a6b
