"Why don't you get your husband to pay the bills?" (I've never been married)
"You don't? Why hasn't a cute little girl like you found yourself a nice rich husband yet?"

I don't know man, why do you have all those sexual harassment cases pending against you?
Runner-up, from a editor who had evidently never even bothered to look at my resume: "Why don't you get your husband to take you on a nice trip and do some journalism from there? Then you can get some international reporting chops!"
Like journalism is my little woman-hobby. It's very satisfying to be invited to be on panels they helped organize and watching their faces drop when they realize that I'm the same Brooke from years ago, their mouths a perfect little "O" lmao
Of course I'm totally above bringing any of it up hahahahahhahahaha just kidding I rub it in their faces and love every second of it

There will very likely be performative outrage and a full-blown disinformation campaign around this. It will emerge from the bowels of white supremacist fever swamps, get laundered by local far right radio hack Carl DeMaio on the air and Facebook groups off the air, and then...
...members of the ReOpen San Diego and Defend East County groups will get their usual crews together to astroturf anti-migrant "demonstrations" that will then by covered by clueless local press as though they are genuine, authentic, and simply "concerned citizens."
It won't just be DeMaio, but he's definitely the one laundering the most noxious content as fodder for his terrible radio show right now.
