Been homeless over 6 years. My social services agency, high turnover. Being female , almost all my case managers have been female, standard practice.

Out of 17 case managers, only 2 have been male. Female cms: detailed, logical, responsive, solution oriented, clear effective communication. Male cms, the opposite.

I try to communicate clearly, effectively, which is easy cuz autism, and the 2 male cms, i get constant 2nd guessing, passive-aggressive defensiveness. Get impression they’re automatically assuming I don’t think clearly, don’t know what I’m saying. It’s weird, and I can’t figure out why.

I know not all men are the same. I’m not like all women. Have I just been unlucky with these 2 cms, or is there a gender aspect to this I’m not understanding? I’d like to learn.

    I guess I misread your comment as being sarcastic in an awful way (i.e. two cases can’t be sexism but with a third you’d have definite proof). ADHD can do that sometimes so my apologies!

      Ironic how one goes from pointing out assumptions based on internal fictions can lead to incorrect and often overblown external reactions… to blaming ADHD for the same. 😜🤌🏽
