If you had two employees, one man and one woman, and they both spoke like a “Valley Girl” which would you judge more harshly? I suspect the man, for fairly to conform to expected gender norms/stereotypes.

That’s exactly why it’s sexist.

after reading about high terminal in the NY Times a long time ago I started using it myself, specifically when I was not sure of something, as a way to indicate lack of confidence. After a while I noticed people never picked up on it so I stopped.
