We threaten their insecurity.
That’s my favorite part. The calm half-smile gets them every time! They have some nerve saying we’re emotional and temperamental
Boom booms are SO sensi.
Ego. Recently had a case where opposing counsel men treated me horribly. My male senior partners didn’t believe it because these men didn’t treat THEM that way. Finally a senior lawyer from another firm was there, witnessed it, and apparently reported back to my partners. Of course now they believe me. But I will take the win.

Happens to me all the time. I could write a book after 12 years of misogyny. The GOOD men in this profession will believe you the first time and defend you. It’s happened to me in the past, not often, but there are some good men out there. Even boomers, but few and far between.
Because their wives walk all over them at home and their job makes them feel like a MAN 💪🏻
Not a boomer, but a male attorney kept referring to me as a secretary. The first time, I let it slide. The second time, my partner informed him that I was working with him, and the third time I corrected him. My partner brought the issue up on a court call and he apologized. I told him “I know that I am a woman working with all male attorneys, but I am not a secretary, I am a lawyer.” I’m a junior and the rest of the partners are almost 30 years in. He has been “nasty” with me ever since then. Lol Be talking smart to me. But I’ve been eating it up and spitting it back out at him. 😂
Because until recently he could pay you less and pat your ass. Even make you go out to dinner with him.
