There is a divided loyalty that ... 1/x
Is downright encouraged - That you must be a woman first, and anything else second. You must want women to get certain jobs, or be lauded for some achievement, or given some priority over men. This bothers me. When someone says something like 2/x
“Didn’t you want the woman to get the job?”, my first thought is no, I wanted a person to get the job. That’s my first and only loyalty. I’m not fussy about patriotism, womanhood, or what have you. I want to see people do well, and that’s all.

The problem my view creates .. 3/x
Is that I am occasionally hassled by some gals for not supporting women, as though that’s wrong. Some women, like some men, are dirtbags. I will critique them as such, and not support them.
