‘You only got a higher grade ’cause you’re a pretty girl.’
‘You only got a higher grade because you’re a pretty girl’. That sentence. That fucking sentence. If there’s something that instantly makes me feel sick, it has to be that. It’s like with everything I do, every achievement I earn and every step I take, there’s this little thought spooking through my head. It’s like a demon stuck to me and there’s nothing I can do about it. Let me explain. First of all, I want to clarify: I don’t see myself as this hot bombshell or something. I’m not insecure about my looks, but I’m not writing this piece out of arrogance or narcissism. No, I’m writing this because this is something I honestly have heard a lot during my law school carreer. And it makes me sad, angry and helpless at the same time.
