I don't know why I'm noticing this more lately, but all the memes about "white man energy" confidence/perceived-importance really are on point.

I keep finding myself in situations where women are in charge, I really could not *possibly* be authoritative, and yet--without me saying a word, and despite nobody present knowing who I am--my mere white, male, and grey-bearded presence pulls focus from the women it should rightfully be on.

Pay more attention to women, y'all. Please.
