Thorough and eye-openingly awesome, as usual. I'm gonna use the energy I might otherwise put toward shaking my head in disbelief at our species into being a little nicer to someone today. Thanks Julie.
Thanks Eric! The SC Coach Dawn Staley shows there are plenty of women uplifting other women out there. Gonna amend this piece to give HER those flowers.
Spot on Julie! Very timely. The likeability thing is crazy. And double standards everywhere you look. I keep thinking about the excellent movie "Origin" (based on book "Caste" which is on my reading list) and its implications on gender. I'm simplifying here but she describes how human societies are based on caste systems. In American this interacts with race too (but in other places it's independent of race/ethnicity). It seems that we are being kept in our place by being made, or feeling compelled, to compete for scraps and struggle for social position and status.
Yes, race, class, gender, propriety, Mulkey's accent and Louisiana origin are also likely at play. Really an I Tonya for the modern age with both Reese & Mulkey.

I'm both aggravated and inspired. Thanks for another great read. Keep it coming!
:) Thank you!! I can't believe all these rivalries got me to care a little about basketball.
