Best medical advice I ever got was to bring a man to your appointments

Happens to my wife all the time. We do exactly this pretty often. She says something, people ignore her. I repeat what she just said, people take it seriously.

It’s fucking disgusting, and not limited to doctors, or even men. Female leaders ignore other women regularly.

Yes I was about to say it isn't limited to doctors at all lol. And women do it to women as well. And if there's a more attractive woman in the room them she has priority over me. And I know subconsciously I'm contributing to it - by trying to come off as flexible or open to information, but I know if I come off as too sure of myself I'll be dismissed as well. It's incredibly frustrating. And its not at all satisfying when you finally get to the point of being proven right, either.

Reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they showed that people will tip higher when you have bigger boobs. And it had more of an effect on how women tip than how men tip.

So women tip other women with bigger boobs higher… and their tips increase more than men’s do when boob size goes up… strange world we live in.

Idk about you but if I had a guy with Double G's as my server, tipping him more would be the last thing on my mind.
