    Lot of them (at least of prior generations) internalized that misogyny and think it’s their place. Disgusting to see.

    Set up audio for a Bible study of 70+ year old women. Shit you not the video they were watching said “you know sometimes our moods are like the cloths in our closets”

    The look in the crowd was not horror but nodding along.

    The 50 sonething feminist coworker was mortified.

      When I was in healthcare a co-worker and I were chatting with a patient while setting up a blood draw. She said she was in an engineering program at (local school).

      My co-worker told her how brave she was because “You know us women aren’t good at math.”

      My co-worker was a 40 something nurse practitioner with three daughters. You just know this otherwise very smart woman is going to pass that thought disease down to her kids.
