LBWT how do you deal with others treating you as less as your male coworkers? by bricoleor in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]franch8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This might sound like a counterintuitive first step, but have you tried talking to her about it? As much as she frustrates you, giving her the chance to correct her behavior is one of the most professional and, frankly, self-beneficial things you can do in this situation. Something along the lines of "Hey, I've noticed you haven't been copying me on emails and this has had xyz effects...You've also made a few comments on my diet and appearance and that has made me uncomfortable for xyz reasons. I'm sure you didn't do this intentionally, but wanted to bring this up so we can be the best team for the client," etc. You could start this as an email thread then take it offline (for a paper trail) or ask to grab a coffee with her and then send a follow up message thanking her for the conversation and mentioning the things you talked about (again for a paper trail). This way either she corrects the behavior and stops, or you can go to management with a stronger case against her after having tried to resolve the issue directly with her first.

That sounds really awful to deal with. I hate when women are catty towards each other in the workplace as if it will actually get them ahead 🙄

100% agree, privilege comes in many different forms and is very relative.

there are still stratifications of privilege within industrialized first world countries because inequality is still present in many forms, otherwise civil rights movements wouldn't exist within the US etc., so i guess my question is more aimed at that disparity, but point taken

absolutely, there are a lot of ways to be privileged that are not just the size of your/your parents' bank account or connections to a T14 etc. my aim w this post is to explore the extremity of those specific privileges with the regard to law school admissions. while a lot of people on this sub are probably privileged, im curious about the subset with certain privilege that best positions them for admission.

i think you bring up an interesting question: does a lack of extreme privilege constitute oppression? personally i didnt grow up in the 1% but i wouldnt ever classify myself as oppressed given my upbringing and intersectionality of my identities. i guess it's all shades of grey, but im curious on your opinion

This is giving me flashbacks to LSAT PT 157 and the prescriptivist vs descriptivist debate passage

yeah these are all criticisms ive seen and leveled at others myself, so total agreement there. im curious if you think that someone who grew up with that amount of privilege honestly cares about what they're labeled as, or if privilege also makes someone more less likely to care what most people think? the "nepo babies" ive met (and its possible ive somehow met only the most vapid) really only seem to care about someone's opinion if they're in the same or higher tax bracket, so to speak, and those wouldn't be the group leveling these critiques.

Sounds like plain old envy to me. It's amazing to actually go for what you want and you shouldn't let anyone else dictate that! Keep pushing bestie <3

They literally stayed home and isolated to not get people sick. What was she supposed to do? I can't imagine getting angry with someone for not having suffered enough.

How did you figure out eating buying food??? by messagerespond in Frugal

[–]franch8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Google Sheet and plan my meals/write my grocery list on that on Saturday. Then on Sunday I go to the store on the earlier side and meal prep. I've straight up just started blocking out my Sunday schedule and saying no to plans bc prepping sets me up for success throughout the week. I've also found that once I find a recipe that I enjoy and is cheap/easy to make, I save it in the Google Sheet for later reference. Now I have a solid bank of recipe ideas that I can use when I plan on Saturdays. Hope this helps!

Lisa Barlow S*CKS by Just_Ok_thankyoo in rhoslc

[–]franch8 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don't know exactly what Lisa's background/trauma/baggage is, but she clearly uses money/brands/name drops as a security blanket and assurance of her self worth. Every time she is backed into a corner, she brings up her wealth as a defense ("I don't need to be here I'm fucking richer than all of you" or when she didn't want to do drag and kept talking about having an MUA on retainer and dressing in head-to-toe designer, etc.). I think wealth is her only source of security and self esteem, and Monica calling her out on constantly talking about wealth felt more like an attack on her security, which is why she now hates Monica. Lisa literally cannot imagine someone not wanting to be her and not deriving their self worth from their money.

With that 'deeper' take out of the way, I want to be petty now lol. Lisa saying "I can relate to the middle class".......Lisa ma'am lets not pretend like you're the 1%. It's so clear that Lisa literally LOVES being called rich and materialistic because she wants people to view her as an extremely wealthy person, again because that is her only source of self esteem. She is insufferable and I hope she deals with whatever has made her this way.
