| Jan 5, 2016 at 19:09 | comment | added | Phil Miller | Thanks for editing :-). Fell free to directly incorporate suggestions as you see fit. I'm fine with sharing credit - after all, edit history is visible, and my comments are still here. I'd rather readers see the good stuff up front, rather than have to dig through the comments to piece it together. Upvotes on the comments wouldn't hurt, of course. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 19:08 | comment | added | Phil Miller | Asking her to 'gently' point out gender bias is burdening her with making a complaint she felt necessary emotionally palatable to you. Turn that around. Make it clear to her that if she brings something up, you trust that she has a good reason. If it centers on something you do or have done, or someone you're inclined to stick up for, be prepared to process any tendency toward a defensive response on your own, or with someone else you can trust for advice. If you feel a need to ask for clarification on those events' practical or emotional impact, you should be trying to do that gently. | |

wording improvement

| Jan 5, 2016 at 19:00 | comment | added | Phil Miller | 'Meritocracy' has become a very loaded term, usually with implications that claims of discrimination aren't credible. I would phrase that part along the lines of having admitted her because of an excellent track record to date, and an expectation that she'll continue to do good work. | |
