Early on, I was working with a company and I asked a question about my work being disseminated to the world, a very specific business question. And I got a call back from the president of that company who said to me, so I wanted to get back to you. I know that you're a control freak, so I need to answer your question. And I felt so like, wait,

Because I asked a question about my own business and I'm a control freak. If I were a man, there is no way in hell this response would have been framed that way. You experienced this, sister, right? Gendered feedback. What's the feedback that you get in terms of your work that you feel like is gendered?

Yes. That was a woman, by the way. That was a woman who called me.

Is it because you don't do the equivalent of a million smiley faces after your text in your communication? Like you're not, bubbly enough. Cause I see a lot of that. People expect women to be a certain way with each other. And when you're direct and clear, that is viewed as aggressive.

Yeah. So you ask yourself, is it gender? There's another, and I want to actually broach this because we usually don't, and most women don't because it's so dicey, but there's also another category of criticism that comes down to money and ambition. I've definitely noticed this one recently. It's some version of how dare she make money off of her work. Okay. And like, all I care about is money.
