 @7b682b86 The "I could write if I wanted to" is such a disgusting classic 😅

 @66e742bb I can still remember the jerk's face who said it, though I can't remember the context of our meeting—except that it was brief. There was more than a little (and unmistakeable) misogynistic undertones in the statement. 🤨

 @7b682b86 @66e742bb I've definitely heard that, too. By a woman, though, and in a condescending tone. "It must be nice having that kind of time. Enjoy it now before you have kids."

"I do enjoy it. Writing helped me through depression and has been a positive way to process the grief of infertility."

That shut her up real quick. 😅 People can be jerks.
