"We have no women skilled enough"

...

The one-two punch of misogyny; the client being demeaned and objectified for the fact she is a woman, and the admission that the gender gap in male dominated fields is so big that they can't even offer a single female member of staff "skilled enough" to assist her so that she can feel safe from their sexist leering.

It's 2023 and this is still the bullshit happening out here.

and I get called a silly old person for stating that womens rights (and those of the disabled) are going backwards and worse than in 1990. Usually by people born after 1995.

That's not good. I'm not quite post 1995 (1993) and while I admit I have no knowledge of working life in the 80's and 90's, I think there's plenty of evidence that women's rights are moving backwards. In some countries they have stayed really far back and are only getting worse, in others they were going forward and are now moving back at an alarming pace, in some like the UK we aren't quite there yet but there is definitely a growing movement of misogyny amongst the younger generations championed by manosphere type figures and internalised misogynist female equivalents.

I don't know if all this is the plight marginalised people face generally as I am white and heterosexual, but I do feel like there is so much anger or hatred or dismissal toward feminists even within our own demographic. I genuinely had no idea until recently how few women considered themselves feminists.
