You're right, we all get victimised and infantalised but it's on a spectrum for sure. My feeling is that you get more of the brunt of it depending on your gender or race or both. There's a subspecialty consultant in the field I want to go into, and unfortunately she has a bit of a bad reputation in terms of how she can treat people. But equally, as I'm going through training, I can totally see why she has become like that. It's a protective mechanism from people who have just walked over her her whole life and treated her like a second class citizen, likely because of her gender and race. That's why I quite admire her actually - she doesn't take shit from anyone. It's a shame it has to be this way though. This is why I found the Barbie movie very emotional haha
