I tell people I'm a software developer and they nod politely, not believing a 54-year-old who looks like I do can be a REAL developer. But they believe like crazy that I'm an attorney. It's probably the tie.

But they believe you're a person of importance.

Agreed. I'm not laying claim to any deprivations. My point is that people have stereotypes of what people who claim a certain role look like. Some of those stereotypes are frustrating (that's my case) and some are mean, hateful, and harmful (that's her case).

That was a really great way to explain your point while respecting the distinctions between her and your experience. I appreciate that.

Does it really matter what people think when you are successful. Asking the world to magically know you are a CEO is insane.

It's funny I don't have a lot of money but I know a lot of really rich people I'm talking these people have millions and the way they dress and act you would never know they had that kind of money.

This would be an interesting article to share with MS or HS Ss early in the school year--would foster important discussion and perspective taking. You could follow up by having Ss find similar article from other perspectives.

Why she would mention such a thing in normal conversation? ......Looks like she’s trying to manufacture anti woman/racism to me.I would severely doubt the white man who plopped down next to me who declared out of the blue...”You know I run this company”.

There are people out there who think black people sitting in first class must be in the wrong seats, so her story doesn't surprise me.

Correct to a point....but even you might wonder about a person you weren’t familiar with who would sit next to you and announced apropos of nothing that they’re in charge of this company or that.
