I had someone say to me today, "i know a lot of this stuff goes over your head"

At my job. Where I am the manager.

Of course it was an old white man.

I don't understand everything, no one does, but I always try to learn what I can and consult experts when I need to.

He's very helpful, but I still am getting accustomed to being talked down to.

Hopefully I will find ways to address these comments in the future with grace and acceptance.

@caccoon I bet you did, but this is what makes me mad we as women, are always the ones that have to be accommodating or polite or laugh off the rudeness or work extra hard to prove ourselves etc…. I hope things change.

@RebelRaven you are so right.

And I hope they do change as well, but I am not holding my breath
