So my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When
faced with sexism or ageism or lookism or even really aggressive
Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: "Is this person in
between me and what I want to do?" If the answer is no, ignore it and
move on. Your energy is better used doing your work, and outpacing
people that way. Then, when you're in charge, don't hire the people who
were jerky to you.
If the answer is yes, you have a more difficult road ahead of you. I suggest you model your strategy after the old Sesame Street
film piece "Over! Under! Through!" (If you're under forty you might not
remember this film. It taught the concepts of "over, "under," and
"through" by filming toddlers crawling around in an abandoned
construction site. They don't show it anymore because someone has since
realized that's nuts.) If your boss is a jerk, try to find someone above
or around your boss who is not a jerk. If you're lucky, your workplace
will have a neutral proving ground—like the rifle range or the car sales
total board or the SNL read-through. If so, focus on that.
Again, don't waste your energy trying to educate or change opinions.
Go "Over! Under! Through!" and opinions will change organically when
you're the boss. Or they won't. Who cares?
Do your thing and don't care if they like it.
