A plane crashed. Some people’s first explanation? “A woman was flying.”

Lives were lost. Families are grieving. Yet her gender became evidence of incompetence before the facts were established.

Reports later identified her as the co-pilot and the captain as male. But even if she had been captain, being female does not mean incompetent. Co-pilots are qualified pilots too.

⬇️
Many women recognise the pattern: competence questioned, expertise checked with a male colleague, authority overlooked, assertiveness labelled “difficult”, or patronising language during professional discussions.

As a female doctor, at times I have introduced myself and still been assumed to hold another role. Every healthcare profession matters but the issue is having my stated role disregarded.

⬇️
The figures deserve attention.

Among surgical trainees answering the GMC’s relevant optional questions in 2024:

→ Ignored or excluded: women 26%, men 16%.
→ Intentionally humiliated: women 22%, men 16%.
.
A UK surgical workforce study published in BJS in 2023 examined misconduct by colleagues over the previous five years:

→ Sexual harassment: women 63.3%, men 23.7%.
→ Sexual assault: women 29.9%, men 6.9%.

Men experience these behaviours too. Women reported them more often.

⬇️
Bias also extends beyond gender.

In the GMC’s 2024 survey, 32% of ethnic minority trainees reported microaggressions, negative comments or oppressive body language, compared with 26% of white trainees.

Race, disability, age, religion and sexual orientation can also shape experiences. These biases can overlap.

⬇️
This is why I lend my voice as a Black female doctor and international medical graduate.

Assumptions can affect whose expertise is trusted, whose concerns are heard and who gets opportunities.

Representation matters in the cockpit, on the ward and in the boardroom. Those coming after us should see a place for themselves, with respect and fair opportunities when they arrive.

⬇️
For women navigating this/working in male dominated fields :

→ State your role and correct repeated assumptions.
→ Ask: “What aspect of my decision concerns you?”
→ Set boundaries calmly: “During professional discussions, please address me as Dr Ajayi.”
→ Document repeated incidents, seek support and know your reporting policy.
→ Build relationships with mentors, sponsors and trusted allies.

Someone else’s assumption does not define your ability.

⬇️
Change is everyone’s responsibility.

Colleagues: recognise expertise, credit contributions and challenge unfair assumptions.

Leaders: make opportunities fair and address undermining.

Before questioning someone’s competence, ask: “Am I assessing their work, or making assumptions about their identity?”

Terms of Endearment Across Social and Professional Settings
.
The recent Twitter debate highlighted how “dear” or “babe” can feel friendly in one setting but patronising and dismissive during professional disagreement/discussions, particularly when used by male colleagues towards female colleagues.

The differing perceptions reflects reduced awareness/understanding on this matter …

Research has linked endearment use with sexist attitudes in some settings and documented unequal professional forms of address.

Nigerian research explores culturally shaped forms of address, but how recipients interpret them across different settings remains underexplored.
⬇️
⬇️
As a result, I’m conducting an anonymised survey for women aged 18+ to explore these experiences. Analysis will examine patterns of perceived warmth, respect or dismissal and inform practical suggestions for better communication

.
Your perspective matters, whether these words feel friendly, uncomfortable or somewhere in between.

📤 Share it with friends, colleagues and women’s groups. A wider range of voices will help better understand different experiences.
