I experienced something once. But then a man told another man that he wasn’t aware of my experience, so the other man explained to me that I hadn’t actually experienced it. I can’t wait for my first real experience!

But you can mount it.

This is the crusty old white man version of Mariah’s “I don’t know her” meme.

I was a part time mechanic for most of my life working in my Dad’s shop. I left the trade for good after 15+ years of being asked if I could ‘get one of the men’ or if they could make an appointment for service. They would do it when I was literally elbow deep in an engine. I lost money because so many men would…

That is horrible!

Who is that asshole who just flat out called her a #liar to her face just cuz he talked to some congressman?

When men ask what microaggressions are, this is a good example, because it happens over and over and over. Grace Meng is right on the money. Let’s make this the new normal.

I’m a black attorney and when I used to go to court regularly, everyone assumed I was one of the defendants. I would be in a suit and have my files with me but would still get told I would be called up to the bench when it was time for the judge to hear my plea.

Yup. I’m a professor. My office is right next to another (male) professor, and if I had a nickel for every student who walked through my door asking if I could schedule an appointment for them with Prof. Nextdoor, I would be a wealthy woman.

I am a female lawyer in my early 30s and I regularly get mistaken for an assistant or paralegal. It adds extra difficulty to my job since I need to establish credibility before I can even engage with clients.

Girl, I hear you. I’m a lawyer, I’m still relatively young, and I’m small, so I’m always mistaken for being much younger (not that I mind, usually). When I went to my first hearing at a new courthouse a couple years ago, the security guard thought I was there waiting for my parents. :( Granted he was like 80, so I prob…

This is like Magary’s William-Sonoma Haters Guide, except somehow Goop is even worse.

Okay, let’s break this down.

I don’t want to live in an echo chamber but I don’t want to live with people who don’t respect me or give less than a shit about my rights.

There are a hundred other Goop-a-like businesses, all selling the same mumbo-jumbo vaginal eggs and spooky magic powders.

“On the content side we like to move the needle. We like to start discussions…. that people are sometimes surprised by.”

Exactly. Being a celebrity helped launch her brand. Being famous hasn’t hurt her. If that were true, all celebrity companies would perish. They don’t. People buy stuff because of the name. However, peddling snake oil remedies that are at best a waste of money, at worst dangerous has hurt your brand.

And here I thought Goop’s failure to thrive was the fact that it’s hocus-pocus neo-new-wave crunchy-granola hyphenate-everything bullshit.

I’d stop hanging out with family members if they worked for this administration.

It sucks because people know who you are and can call you out on your bullshit, right Gwyneth? And said bullshit has destroyed whatever was left of your acting career, ie appearing for 10 minutes in the next Iron Man movie.
