I spent the first 10 years of my academic career being very concerned about sexism and how it was impeding my career. Here’s the funny thing, though. When I stopped worrying about it (long story), all the obstacles just fell away. I’ve found that when you stop worrying about these things you work more effectively, you carry yourself with more confidence, and things just tend to fall your way. FWIW
I’d also say that losing that anger was a *huge* weight off my shoulders. It used to consume so much energy.
And, happily, it keeps me from being even tempted to vote for a woman who has campaigned with as little integrity as has Sen. Clinton. As far as I am concern she has thoroughly earned her loss of this nomination. It would be ashame for a weird kind of sexism to deprive her of it.
