Oh my God. It's responses like yours that starkly remind me of how imbalanced it is for a woman in this industry and indeed in life.

I admit it was a bit melodramatic.

In this season of Survivor, there is this deaf woman who wears a Cochlear implant. She can hear okay and it doesn't seem to handicap her much, but she's been bringing it up all the time to her teammates to the point that she's under the constant impression that she's being discriminated against because she's deaf, while the reality is just that she's a subpar competitor and her team is getting tired of her bringing up her deafness all the time while the simple truth is that they really don't care.

Basically, the only person on the show who's making a big deal of her deafness is herself.

Seems to me OP is doing the same thing here.
