Like a Boss

It has come to my attention that I have a big ego. This is true, for SOME things. For example:

- I know how to write dialogue, and I'm comfortable critiquing fiction/creative non-fiction (due in part to my English major background)

- I'm knowledgeable in racism, its structure, its insidious effects, and white privilege (due in part to my nonwhite background)

- I can hold my ground when discussing feminism, dissecting mansplainations, and pointing out intersectionality (due in part to my sex)

- I know a shit-ton about the restaurant business (due in part to my family's restaurant business)

- Look, I'm just really smart okay?

Yes, I WILL look my nose down on stupid folks. Yes, I WILL look my nose down on ignorant people who can't be bothered to learn more than what they've been told. No, I won't give up any of my precious time and attention listening to someone try to school me in something I know more about. Nope, just won't do it. If this makes me arrogant, if this makes me a bitch, if this makes me egoistic, then fine.

I like being called a bitch anyway.
