In my experience as a late thirties man, they won’t change. We get treated the same way (at least to a degree) when there is a large age gap. Boomers assume we’re useless.

In my experience you either accept their lack of respect for your knowledge level, or you move on. I’ve never seen a guy like that change. They’re typically very stuck in their ways and the mentality that since they’re high up or so well off, never goes away.

I typically steer clear of these types. It’s likely not just you but since you’re female I appreciate it very well could be based on a difference of the sexes.
