Mickman, welcome!
It is weird to receive those accolades when you know that others do it. Have you ever challenged someone when they praise you but not others, particularly women?

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I have said something like, "There are many who do what I do, lots of women care for their parents." The reply is usually something like; but they are women and are expected to care for them. I often try to make light and remind them that many women do thankless jobs, but it is always the same reply. I remember hearing an actress say something to the effect of; Women have to be better than men, for less money, look better and do it in heels to get half the respect. |
