OK, gather round. I was speaking with an intern last week whose friend works in specialty insurance. Being the curious type, I asked for more information. Here’s how that went: “What is specialty insurance?” “Oh, it’s when you insure something that makes you a celebrity … like Taylor Swift’s legs.”
When a female intern thinks it's reasonable that women's physical attributes are more valuable than their mind and talent, I am reminded again and again, that our work on gender equality and women's self confidence in their capabilities must begin and continue from early childhood all the way to adulthood. Thanks for this sad story, Christine.

I like this piece so much that a heart emoji is insufficient!
