Find your tribe

Sounds generational, where women weren't in the workplace hardly at all. And that reminds me of how women political candidates or lawyers get comments on their hair, clothes, and makeup or how old she looks. Men don't get this scrutiny.

RD, yeah it may be about like or dislike, but if they don't even know you how can they feel one way or another? Maybe it IS a form of superiority, to elevate themselves but if they don't do it to others as much, I don't know.

I haven't had that experience in decades but if it happens now, I'd confront the person about why they are so pissed at me but not others for the same thing???? People are SO full of crap.

If you wonder why this black cat keeps showing up in your threads, it's because, as mentioned, they resonate with me.
