We Can Do Hard Things
Women at Work & The Episode That Wasn’t with Sarah Spain (Best Of)

Although I will say that at least unlike your evangelical friends, the people in the sports world act like they have a mission from God to keep women out, but they don't actually invoke God.

Yes. Yes. Because if they were saying literally God wants only men in sports, I'd be like, I don't know where to go with you if you believe that. And instead they say dumb shit like genetically women don't understand sports. And then I could use science. To be like, actually, there is no DNA coding for knitting versus understanding a cover two defense.

You'll not find it in science, but you can keep trying. Whereas with God, I'm like, okay, I guess that's what you think. So where do you go from there?

Yeah, it's actually reminded me of a conversation you all had recently where you talked about feedback, which is a nice word for criticism. And I think about that a lot because I'm OK with people disagreeing with my sports opinions. And when they do that, that's part of the give and take of the job I do. But usually it's not that it's I can't believe anyone married you or you're fat or whatever.

any number of things that have nothing to do with my job. And also being on TV, doing the job means that while I have to learn all of the same things about all of the sports, then I have to decide what am I going to wear and what's my makeup going to look like? And is every single comment going to be about, you know, what I look like?

And the funny ones are just middle-aged men that are like, what are those earrings today? And I'm always like, what? I just have a saved thing that just says, Vera Wang, is that you?

They have a law practice together. So they didn't just talk about equality, but they modeled it. My mom did way more of the work at home. It certainly was not indicative of a real partnership, but in the workplace and the way that people talked about my mom, I recognized that she was a badass and I recognized that she was out doing something that was special.
