Elizabeth Warren’s departure shines light on a system that is rife with sexism but rejects candidates who address it.

“Gender in this race?” Senator Elizabeth Warren said outside her home on Thursday. “You know that is the trap question for every woman. If you say, ‘Yeah!

2. I have lived it at every job I ever had...

especially when I was the boss. Last year I was helping manage a rotating group of workers with a friend and I found that the females were the worst when it came to accepting my authority. And in many other working environments, it has been ever thus.
