Implicit beliefs that women are nice but weak suppress their advancement.

Evidence

For example, implicit beliefs that women are nicer (but weaker) than men no doubt influence a much broader array of outcomes than backlash toward masterly women. Their explanatory power might be extended to understanding why women are less likely than men to ask for what they want (including promotions and salary increases), and to be considered for positions that require physical labor or risk-taking (although these positions are often necessary for advancement, such as in the military or blue-collar trades; see Babcock & Laschever, 2003, for reviews). Female communality prescriptions may undercut women’s ability to advance economically, in part, because women themselves are afraid of appearing to be “too demanding” or “too competitive.” — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 777
