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: __s 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__e in charge, don__ 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__e under forty, you might not remember this film. It taught the concepts of, __ver,_ and __nder,_ and __hrough_ by filming toddlers crawling around an abandoned construction site. They don__ show it anymore because someone has since realized that__ nuts.) If your boss is a jerk, try to find someone above or around your boss who is not a jerk. If you__e lucky, your workplace will have a neutral proving ground- like the rifle range or a car sales total board of the SNL read-through. If so, focus on that. Again, don__ waste your energy trying to educate or change opinions. Go __ver! Under! Through!_ and opinions will change organically when you__e the boss. Or they won__. Who cares? Do your thing and don__ care if they like it.
