Just to go into one of your points, I'm not sure if women on average perform worse in negotiations. Probably they are only expected to perform worse in a job and thus have to overcome that gap in any negotiation, which makes it harder for them than the average man.

That's a great point! I'm sure biases play a big role in any interaction we have, albeit gender is just one of the factors.

One can have a negative bias toward candidates from a certain ethnicity, or candidates with a certain height, or based off their attractiveness or a perceived "warmth".

What I was referring to was merely the competitive vs empathic nature which tends to manifest more in men vs women.
