> You're right. That is the healthiest approach for her. Which makes dealing with the bullshit that people fling at her for not having thicker skin all the more valuable. She could go along to get along, but hasn't, so everyone else won't have to go along with this crap too.
Sorry, I'm a little tired today, could you rephrase this so it's easier to tell if you're being sarcastic? (serious question)
- tptacek 15y agoI am literally saying that you are right. The easiest thing for her to do, the thing with the best personal outcome, is to lighten up and get on with her life. The problem is that is also the response with the worst outcome for the field in general. So, what I'm saying is, she's taking a hit (for instance, by being told to "stop victimizing herself" and to just work harder) in order to stand up against this stuff. And I'm also saying that as a husband and the father of a little girl who could god-help-me end up in this field, she's standing up for my family too. And so I personally have an issue with belittling her for doing that. You put a little smiley face after your comment because you thought it was amusing. It's not funny.
