Ugh, not so long ago I received interview feedback in which I was termed ‘very bubbly’, and ‘a lovely girl, but…’ – by the FEMALE Head of Department who was interviewing.
God, I am sorry to hear that. That’s rubbish. How did they know you are lovely? Are you?! Were you lovely to them?! Are you a girl? Or an adult woman? think we are all guilty of it at times. I absent mindedly typed ‘Family Man’ into Twitter this morning when I meant to type ‘Family Woman’. These labels and associated expectations are drilled into us!
