    Whenever I'm on a project that's female-dominated, I often feel that if I don't put enough exclamation marks in my emails — "Hey! Thanks for sending that so fast!! Happy holidays!!!!" — or fail to put a smiley face after giving feedback — "Looks good, but let's fix the typos, please. :) :)" — to them, I am eventually pegged as unfriendly.

    Result of feminism? Not sure.
