What's not a sign someone's an asshole, but is often misinterpreted as one?

Women speaking up and demanding to be heard.

In particular, women are more likely to be viewed as "bitchy", "bossy", etc for doing the exact same thing that a man could do without being considered as such.

So it's not just women speaking up, but also that there's a gender imbalance in how that speaking up can be viewed.

That can go either direction though. Sometimes the women are being unfairly judged for reasonable behaviour a man wouldn't be challenged for. Sometimes the women are being judged for unreasonable behaviour that a man would be unfairly unchallenged for.
