    If their example of negative news is “failure to get a promotion” I’m not surprised women were more inclined to share it. Possible outcomes for a woman sharing it include people assuming she was discriminated against and giving her support. Pretty much the only possible outcome for a man is that people assume he just didn’t make the cut.
