    Sustainable sexism - a thread... My 10yo daughter needed shoes. In the sporting goods store, she asked, “Mom, why do they only have pictures of girls stretching or posing, but the boys are doing something athletic?” 🤔 Truthfully, I hadn’t noticed. So I looked around. 1/

    Well, I guess the bathroom lines during breaks at our national conferences will still be shorter for the next several...decades.

    Don’t think because you don’t notice the sexism that it doesn’t happen. It happens in private, behind closed doors, and often not even spoken out loud - and that’s the most damaging part.

    So, take note of this thread. We don’t pose in this family. We play. And I’ll role model the crap out of my life to show my daughter that girls can do anything. 💪 Consider changing your store ads. Effect change. Stop sexism.

    Also this week she is attending camp; dress code for ladies states “Shorts must reach the point where the fingers start with arms at side of body.” When I read that to her she asked “how long do the boys’ shorts need to be?” 🤔😡 (pic of offending shorts) 10/

    So I told her I would speak up. I’m sure your PR team thinks they know what we want to see (so we spend 💵 - I get it). But please consider what kids (esp GIRLS) want to see, too. My badass daughter can throw a spiral 🏈, serve a 🏐, drill a 🥎, 🏃‍♀️, 🏌️‍♀️, swish a 🏀... 9/

    Then, while checking out, she sees a leadership wall, with pictures of the company’s managers, etc. She elbows me: “Mom look. There are only 5 girls up there. FIVE.” Our kids are sponges. They notice. So the unconscious bias in marketing contributes to sexism ➡️ sustainable. 8/

    My attendings in residency emphasized this-if you operate enough you WILL have complications, how you deal w them is what counts: -be calm & collected -fully assess & fully address (no cutting corners) -be honest w/ pt, refer to preop counseling -review to learn, not ruminate

    “There are 3 kinds of surgeons: surgeons who operate and therefore get complications, surgeons who do not operate and therefore do not get complications, and dishonest surgeons.” (credit:)
