The last chapter will cheer you up, I hope!
Reading The Authority Gap by @masieghart.bsky.social (for a work book club nonetheless) and feeling a fury similar to the time I read Invisible Women by @ccriadoperez.bsky.social* (and I'm only half way through).

The joke is @masieghart.bsky.social will be accused of being “bolshie” and “combative” for explaining her well-researched, coherent, (and frankly, correct) argument in a confident way.

Can you imagine Fiona Bruce stripping off in front of her crew, with only tassels to hide her nipples? Or Mishal Husain making sexualised comments to her researchers? Or Mel Giedroyc thrusting her groin at a young man wiping cake mixture off her trousers? My column in today’s @theguardian.com
