The problem with far too many male politicians and executives is that they tend to make everything into a sports analogy. In my years of interviewing women from all across the country and in all walks of life, I’ve consistently found that this drives women insane. Many women (and, to be fair, also some men) don’t know what a “hat trick” is. Men use baseball metaphors, golf metaphors, football metaphors—and often these sports metaphors are graphic and violent.
