> While the times are definitely changing, a lot of people are still very averse to finding a new workplace.

This is one thing I've coached career-focused and executive aspiring women on.

If they are worried about being assertive and being called a "bitch" at their current organization then they are already playing at a disadvantage.

The competition is full of men that got called "cocky" and self absorbed at many organizations, before landing in one at a senior level in a different place that needed someone new to shake things up or "make the hard decisions".

I don't really see that factored in to the outcomes.

Whether this idea results in a bunch of women finding that no organization wants their assertive attitude? Time will tell. A level playing field definitely involves normalizing behavior.
