#1 Heatherâs response illustrates the fatalistic mindset many women have, believing that their circumstances are more fixed and absolute than they really are.
#2 The belief that opportunity only knocks once can be a barrier for women, who may assume that they must wait to be given the things they want or need. But the truth is that opportunity doesnât always knock.
#3 The turnip to oyster scale measured peoplesâ propensity to see possibilities for change in their circumstances. Low scorers were people who saw little benefit to asking for what they wanted because they believed their environment was unchangeable. High scorers were people who saw most situations as adaptable to their needs and regularly looked for ways to improve their circumstances.
#4 Women were 45 percent more likely than men to score low on the oyster-turnip scale, indicating that women are much less likely than men to see the benefits and importance of asking for what they want.
