You will learn so much about a successful woman’s personal life before you learn her name.
As a “mom in her forties” type of woman, if I ever do something as cool as winning an Olympic medal, please share my name first.
@juliette I wish they did that for the men too.
"Self employed carpenter John Smith with silver.... Etc."
It makes them feel more human and ordinary. It's more inspiring I would argue. I'm jealous when they say "mother of four..." It shows just how much more impressive it is. How they have some of the same barriers we do.
Granted, I 100% agree it's sad when it's "wife/gf of guy..." That's just poor journalism and resoect.
@juliette "Who cares about their names?!
We have to let typical cishet men know they're way too old to fantasise about; and cishet women know that they're worthy humans since they fulfilled their most important function first: motherhood!"
