I hate when people assume I'm the office assistant or new hire when I'm the Assistant Director.

I started my own company, with my name on it. I want to punch old white man who asks if "Mr Alcaran" is in, or if the owner is my father or husband.

I once did an interview with someone who asked me if this was my internship. He didn't get the job.

Xi thinks you should get a male dog or cat. When people ask for Mr Alcaran, show them puppy pictures. "Isn't little Mister Alcaran a good boy!"

There's a lot of micro-aggressions and straight up aggressions in this post, but honestly your comment strikes the biggest nerve for me. It genuinely shows that a portion of the world don't consciously see women as business owners
