The Thing We Weren't Taught
“So, what’s the catch?”“I’m an upper middle class, white, professional woman, dripping in privilege, and I still can’t find the courage and security to speak against the misogynistic mindset that drowns me. That’s the fucking catch.” Everyone looked at each other and nodded quietly. “You all know I'm an ER Doctor, and even though I walk into a patient’s room, talk to them about their malady, give them the treatment plan and introduce myself as Dr. Lansing, the nurse tells me later they are still asking when they will get to see the Doctor.”“Yea, I was talking to a man who was supposed to be m...
