The problem is these patriarchal cis-scum aren't actually making shit up to trigger her. The federal government gives contract preference to women-owned businesses, and there are incredibly valuable grants available to encourage des entrepeneuses. Instead of just wigging out in markdown, she might have considered asking them what the hell they were talking about; it could have helped her business. Life is easier in general when you assume conversations are being held in good faith. Speaking of good faith conversation, your traffic numbers are not a business secret, and your conversation partner does not actually give a shit. This is just the modern version of "so how are sales these days?"
