White men, white men, white men. And even though right now today there are more women in this field than there are men, all of the people who are in power are the white men. It doesn't matter. You know what I mean? I'm like, yeah, being a woman, I see women everywhere, but we're all subject to the same misogyny because the people who are...
you know determining our paychecks who make decisions yeah we're the ones having to convince those fucking fucking assholes yeah of the personhood and the existence of people who don't look like them yep and that's difficult yeah sometimes when you're fighting prejudice it's fighting ghosts really literally yeah you're like i want to change the system but i need to get inside of it and how can i get in when it's impenetrable exactly you know what it kind of equates to sometimes
when it comes to because we're like in the legal field it's like politicians lawyers die in that chair bitch they do not retire they do not quit i work for a man who was 90 years old practicing in court we do not take licenses away oh no baby we let you we let you pull up like you pass the bar like during prohibition like that shit's fucking wild if father time is assigned to me
hey i'm oh yeah no you're hey i'll defend myself in court um he might keel over any second no 100 he's gonna be like oh she's free they freed her shit he's literally well i might not be alive by the end of this trial no exactly i kid you not exactly and they smell exactly like you think and so When you know, like, a lot of times, right, you're... Some of them, honestly, some of them are great.
Like, I've met a lot of men who are in this field who are the white male old demographic who are honestly not, like, necessarily the good ones because all of them should be the good ones, but they... have absolutely been pivotal in making sure there's a door open. But sometimes they're just so old that it's honestly like working with a Make-A-Wish kid.
And I mean that in the most respectful way of, look, if you're at Disneyland and you see a Make-A-Wish kid and they are a terror, right? They are screaming, yelling, crying in line, like fisting people, punching people, whatever. And you see the big Make-A-Wish crown right on their head. You go, well, it's not really my business to say anything because they don't have a lot of time left.
Yeah, here to enjoy. You just got to let it you just got to let it ride.
And put your energy somewhere more important.
Exactly. And all of these, not all of them, but some of these men who are like it's like, you know, during the Black Lives Matters protests. I remember one of my bosses who was otherwise a good lawyer is like rambling on and on. Right. About their, you know, the whole thugs terminology stuff. Yeah. And I was like, I just, I just sat there listening. Cause I'm like, he's going to be dead soon.
Like, I'm like, I don't, teaching him anything is not helping anyone. Like, it's not like he's a, like, he's not changing shit. He's going to go home to his dead wife and just, and his shitty dog. And that's going to be that. And eventually one day I'm going to get the call and go finally. Right.
Circle of life.
Lion King. They ate with that. Okay. But, but sometimes let's try to change their minds. Let's hope that they, they deteriorate.
everyone else let them die off exactly that's the fastest way to do it have a chance yeah exactly go either way yeah or they have enough of an open mind or empathy or whatever right exactly to grasp a concept i agree because right you look at all these other horrible times in history and you have to know to a certain extent yeah those people had to die off like i'm sorry like i'm really sorry but they just had to right there's no other way for us to have fixed that at all
No.
No, it's not my job. And on my billable hour, you couldn't afford me anyway. Be fucking serious.
That's what I'm going to tell you to do. Well, you're just intolerant. I'm not intolerant. I'm tolerant of people who actually want to listen. I'm intolerant of you. I'm intolerant of you. Oh, no, for sure. This is not a safe space for you. This is dangerous as fuck.
Yeah. Strong words is why I used it. Yeah.
So I want to say that first. Well, thank you. It should be the baseline for everyone.
It makes me feel so awkward because I genuinely believe I'm like, if my job as a lawyer, like everyone's job as a lawyer, is to go to court and argue for their clients, how is it not part of our job that we make it a better profession, that we make it a better field, that we make it safer for someone else, that we...
put our neck out where maybe another person couldn't because I'm a white woman and I know that the color of my skin is going to make a difference in whether I can say something or not whether I can threaten my job or not and and so for people who want to come into this field who are part of those communities that this field does not represent absolutely or are not represented by you know only five percent of all attorneys in the U.S.
