So good! How often do we see your powerful line in action:

Thank you!

It drives me insane that powerful men get away with so much and a woman just has to be checks notes successful at her job to be treated like a conman.

I’m convinced men are threatened by powerful women. They freak out when women don’t need anything from them. How did they get so powerful? It must be a kind of trick. How can they not need me?

I still wonder how mainstream pubs continue to publish perspectives this transparent and retain the half of their readers they insult. Chicanery? Molonphy, in the grip of an hysterical case of the vapors.
