I didn't see this before I commented! This is a better argument to go than academia pusuits would be, but I'd still carefully consider the pros and cons. If the pros outweigh the cons, then go.

Option 3 - stay where you are and work on finding a new job where you do love the cultural values and a better boss?

Female! But I've been very lucky with male bosses as well.

HA. Yeah I push back. I am also very lucky because my boss backs me up 100% and this isn't really someone I need to be a team player with thankfully.

My dad liked to do the old "I'm just getting over a cold and don't want to get germs on the clean dishes" excuse.

Hell, I get that now in the nonprofit sector, with men who are my equals in position routinely asking me to do administrative work that is explicitly not my job and that they've been told is not my job over and over again. I can't prove that it's because I'm a young woman who "looks" like an assistant, but I can't…

I think you are definitely onto something. My husband prefers short hair on me. That comes into it too; anyone can have a bad short haircut or look slightly better in long hair, so it's about what looks best on the individual. To say you blanket hate short hair in women is just so weird and immature to me. Like, guys…

Rudy Guede is in prison for the crime and I believe admitted to it.

Men are dumb.

She'd look so good if she chopped the back into an actual pixie.

Haven't read that in a long time but I really should read it again.

It's also really no more damaging to go back dark when you've already bleached it like that. It probably actually makes your hair look healthier.

She had pics on social media with her head covered in bleach so I think real.

See, when I had platinum hair in a pixie cut the roots bothered me so much less. I got them done every 8 weeks and was totally fine with it. It looks sadder on long hair.

One of my favorite quotes of all time.

This is going to be that show that I reminisce about to my future kids and they're like "mom literally nobody has heard of that. Why are you so embarrassing."

i feel like a non-oatmeal guy haircut could help.

yeaaahhhh i was like, am i supposed to find this endearing? because it just seems shitty.

I've used Tarte's Maracuja cream as a primer for that area, and also Smashbox's under eye primer, to great results. I wouldn't buy the Tarte one if you want it for the actual brightening effects; it's just for moisture and there are cheaper alternatives out there.

This is funny because the 3 step system is the only thing that consistently doesn't break me out after I tried quite a few cleansers and moisturizers, high end and not. Wondering why you don't like it! I also totally swear by the moisture surge intense moisturizer for overnight.
