19 Times Women “Invented” Male Colleagues To Deal With Difficult Customers

To us guys, it may sound like something straight out of the '50s. But it's still a thing in 2021. Many working women are labeled as "bossy" or "impossible" at some point in their professional careers just because of their gender.

In response, a friend of writer Bess Kalb has created a workaround: she set up an email account under a fake man's name and assumes his persona, acting as her assistant whenever a sexist customer goes out of line.

Sadly, she isn't the only one. After Kalb tweeted about this, other women started sharing similar stories too.
