I don't trust my own intuition about what it's like to be a woman coworker. Because I know my own male ego will paint things rosier than they really are, convincing me that I'm "one of the good ones."
I don't trust my own intuition about how equal a partner I am in housework and childcare. Because I know that my own male ego will convince me that I do more housework than I really do.
So I make a point to ask and check in and I make it safe to give me feedback. I try to quantify the experience.
