Abstract : Jennifer Lawrence's assertion about the disparity in pay between women and men ignited a fresh discussion. Recent leaks of Sony emails uncovered that she was paid less than her male counterparts, prompting her to express self-criticism for not negotiating effectively. She emphasized her reluctance to be labelled as "spoiled" or "difficult," highlighting that women aren't seeking more pay per se, but rather fair compensation. She noted the societal discrepancy where men are encouraged to assert their worth when entering a room. Men consider women likable during negotiations by being kind, understanding, and cooperative. The instant we When we stray, we are called pushy, aggressive, and unlikeable.
