If you are a woman who loves beer, or sports, or heavy machinery, you’re going to face sexism—beginning with the assumption that you don’t know what you’re talking about. If you love beer and work as a bartender, you’ll enjoy the additional assumption that you’re only here because you’re attractive (and remember, ladies, that’s a compliment!).
Since it’s unimaginable for women to be really into beer, when men find a woman who is, they have to fall in love. Well, it’s not love, exactly. Picture a guy looking at you the way they’ll look at the snacks in the Trader Joe’s checkout area: They didn’t know they needed it, but now that they know it exists, they have to have it.
