It’s also worth pointing out that role changes take time for people to realize. This guy used to be the executive director and people knew him as that guy. All of a sudden Karen replaces him and everybody is instantly supposed to treat her as in charge and totally disregard their previous relationship with him? Come on.
The exec holding back the donation wasn’t holding it back to speak to a man, he was holding it back to speak to Bradley. The whole peice feels contrived and I feel like it diminishes real sexism that women face. It’s not sexism to want to skip the hierarchy and talk to the person who has been a heavyweight in the organization and wider community for decades.

As described, that is not the case for this situation. Kuhn wrote: > Yet, the executive, who was previously well briefed on the role changes at Conservancy, repeatedly insisted that the donation was gated on a conversation with me. How do you turn that into "instantly supposed to treat her as in charge"?
- jbob2000 8y agoI find your activity for this article highly suspect. You are picking apart some lay comments as if this is a doctoral dissertation. This is not the place for nuanced debate, especially around trite personal problems someone on the other side of the continent is having.
- eesmith 8y agoMy reply was much closer to high school debate than a doctoral dissertation. What you said was clearly not a valid interpretation of the evidence presented. If it's so trite, why are you chiming in at all?
