RE: Mansplained at MY OWN JOB? | Steemit Rant

I totally hear you @limabeing. I think there’s a strong sense that we can’t let men that do this off the hook by saying we are all complicit. But I do want to make it apparent that it’s not beyond all of us to act in this which.

As far as helping her without him.... She was all “I could have done this without you, Husband” so she definitely has a strong damsel in distress swag that just makes me...ugh 🙄 But I’m giving him the courtesy of the benefit of the doubt, and hopefully it was just a moment of douchery.

I appreciate you so much ❤️

Yeah its sad but thats her choice. School is gonna be hard as hell if shes playing that game. She betta find those bootstraps!!

Yes! My job is always 100x harder when the student refuses to take ownership for their own finances and future. I ask a question and I always get a, “can you call my mom?/can I talk to my spouse, I don’t understand this stuff?” And I get it, people want to make sure they are making sound choice and want to consult their support system.... but mostly I’m entirely cut off and told “I don’t understand any of this financial aid jargon.” Well this is your ball and chain for the next ten years, better get acquainted 😬
