It wouldn't surprise me if something like this actually has happened.

Happens to my wife all the time. We do exactly this pretty often. She says something, people ignore her. I repeat what she just said, people take it seriously.

It’s fucking disgusting, and not limited to doctors, or even men. Female leaders ignore other women regularly.

Yes I was about to say it isn't limited to doctors at all lol. And women do it to women as well. And if there's a more attractive woman in the room them she has priority over me. And I know subconsciously I'm contributing to it - by trying to come off as flexible or open to information, but I know if I come off as too sure of myself I'll be dismissed as well. It's incredibly frustrating. And its not at all satisfying when you finally get to the point of being proven right, either.

They don't even acknowledge you were right in the first place and make it about you being aggressive.

The goal posts never stop moving.
