Toughen up! 
So it’s the victim’s fault here?

I think the “snowflake generation” term is very accurate, not just in the medicine field but in general. It’s crazy how the first thing people do nowadays during a confrontation is to pull out their phone to record in case they want to sue. It’s quite scary actually, one little thing can lead to someone losing their job, friends, status… Honestly, it annoying but the best thing is to just try to not get yourself into those situations, of course sometimes its not possible (in which case best of luck). The victim is the one that comes out worse (50 50). Its a tough world.

Very sad - and worrying.

OMG:
We remember:
- the consultant who told one of us that we’d passed a professional exam simply because of the size of our breasts …
- the surgeon who called us ‘mumsy’ to our face …
- avoiding social situations with certain men – it was too risky …
- the pressure to act as ‘one of the boys’ to fit in …
- practising self-censorship to avoid being thought the ‘difficult’ woman in the room …
The list goes on and on.
