2014/03/19/Expensing Misogyny

title/short::Expensing Misogyny I remember speaking with a young liberal woman of my acquaintance some years ago who, when I told her that I was a feminist, replied that she was not because it wasn't necessary anymore. I worried about her future in that moment even though she clearly felt my perspective was fossilized. And yet here I am in 2014 reminding the men I do business with that I'm more than my husband's Girl Friday, that I am the CEO of of Triskele Media, a technologist and a writer. I'm scrutinizing every contract, chasing insurance documentation and telling my accountant again and again that my husband and I are 50/50 partners. It's bad for my productivity, it causes me to lose faith in my service providers and it's frustrating. And to be clear, Sean would never be questioned were he in my place. If I were Triskele Media's tech lead and he were the administrative officer, I have no doubt that he would still be seen as owner of the company. The only difference would be that the service providers he hired would correctly prepare our business documentation the first time.

 * summary: "Today, yet another of the professional men I've hired to provide services for Triskele Media made the mistake of calling it Sean's corporation, and that's twice for this person. In all, the tally so far is two bankers, an insurance agent and an accountant in the last year alone."
