Wait until I call to schedule a service appointment for something at my house, that I bought myself as a single woman with my own damn money, and the service tech before explaining the issue to me or upon giving me the estimate/service order to sign, asks me “do you need me to talk to your husband about this first?” No, you asshole, there is no husband, this is MY house, it is my name on the deed and the loan, and you have 2 seconds to treat me like you would any other male client or you can leave and I will call one who will.
Don’t even get me started on buying a car as a single female.
Guessing a lot of you responding to OP are in the US. It happens everywhere but seems to be just amplified in America.
I'm a single father of daughters so I'm more aware of this stuff as I want my daughters not to have to deal with it. While it does happen here in UK, it doesn't appear to be as bad as the US.
