AOC is proof that no matter how successful or capable you are, some people will only recognize where you started. Politics aside, she was elected by her people to represent them. But critics will only see her as a bartender.
Exactly. And women don't come out on top in so many ways. Not getting compensated for what you work for is the default. If we win, we're a bitch or weirdly competitive ("she'll do ANYTHING for X"). If we're loud about disrespect/harassment, then we're "difficult to work with".

100%. As a man, I recognize this game that women are forced to play. “Be confident, but don’t come off as bossy. Be professional, but not cold. Demand equality without appearing to want more”

do you have sisters or women you're close to? Very few men in the general public get to this point of realization. If anything it would blow my mind even more each time sexism comes up and my guy friends *actually* understand. - Show replies
