DrFerrous, It's been a while since I have felt so unempowered and beaten down. I am just so tired of feeling disrespected and ignored. Going into this meeting at 3pm with the expectation that I will be shut down again. I can't be strong or forceful. I can't call out my chair's decision. I have a mortgage. I have a teenager. I don't have tenure. Today, I will be put in my place again and asked to accommodate a male superior's ego. And I'll do it. I have no other choice. #ProfLife
