I don’t know what happened to me, but I have hit mid-40s and I am SO angry with how male-dominated this world is.
I am mad about the following, in no particular order:
- Despite being the bread winner in the family, having estate agents talk to me only about the kitchens when we do house viewings and addressing solely OH when it comes to money or works
- Boss dismissing me in meetings
- Being constantly interrupted
- Men addressing other men in the professional context or asking their opinion instead of mine, despite me being more senior
- Manspreading on public transport (there was a good thread about it earlier in the week)
- OH lecturing me about things that I obviously know
- Come to think of it, any mansplaining
- Arrogant men cocking everything up and yet feeling super awesome about themselves
There is so much more, please feel free to add.
I worry I am on a path to becoming one of those cackling, bitter grannies muttering to themselves and living alone (I don’t know anyone like this, so perhaps I took the mental image from a film or book).
FML.
