I’m at the airport right now, in the Air Canada first class lounge, and I just noticed that I’m one of the VERY few women here. My sister is travelling with me and actually walked around and counted 13 women and out of around 50 people. Every 1 out of 5 is female. What the fuck is up with lack of women in first class? WHY are there not more women travelling in luxury? I also couldn’t help but notice that when we walk around we get some strange looks from the men here. As if we’re in the man cave and aren’t welcome. Guess what - we’re not going anywhere. GET USED TO WOMEN TAKING OVER. And although I’m sure most of the men here are enjoying this experience on someone else’s dime (thanks to their J-O-B), it’s still hard to miss the fact that there are not enough women enjoying this experience, too. This just reinforces my mission of making sure women all over the world learn how to profit from their own self and their own life, so they can enjoy the same thing their male counterparts already get to enjoy moreso. It’s total bullshit. I’m done with men getting more than we do. I’m certainly no feminist, but I also believe in equality and the fact that women don’t get to experience the same luxuries as men (not as often, anyway) really just pisses me off. Feeling like you don’t deserve it? Feeling like you need to worry about others first? Feeling like you’d rather save money? You’ve got a mindset block, sugar, and need...
