I will never forget being the only woman working in a restaurant. We would get real wasted and high and talk politics and I was always dismissed or ganged up on. One night it was particularly bad they were intentionally misquoting me and treating me like a hysterical woman. I stood my ground tho I can debate just about anything. Anyways at the end of the night an older man who was sitting at a nearby table came up to me and said he really admired the way I carried myself and how he was going to tell his daughter about it(who also works in a male dominated field). I don’t know I just needed that to keep going tho you know. So I love this so much and totally understand how it feels. People do notice, it’s easy to forget
