People in this thread are judging her hard. Any other glass ceilings you want to put over her? I bet it fuels her desire to do this. She's going to end up being the ultimate role model of anyone can aspire to do anything regardless of their past. I for one welcome her efforts to grow up and contribute to society differently than she has in the past.
I'm judging her the say way I'd judge Kanye or Taylor Swift or Ryan Reynolds or anyone else who says random shit to stay relevant. If she's truly found her calling and wants to be a lawyer, then hell yeah, good for her, but it seems out of character for her. I'm not sure why your first thought was that it's about her gender rather than her personality or past behavior.
Anyone born rich* is what you mean.
The system is unfair. Duh. It's still better for her to practice law than reality TV.
I choose neither which is what she deserves and has earned through hard work and skill.
Until her practicing law becomes her next TV stunt
Worked for Judge Judy I guess.
When I click on your name, I see you are here to argue.
So?
you're are also using glass ceiling meaning wrong too.
Not really.
Lemmy is being a bunch of sexist hypocrites as usual, a small token of the real world reactions, that's well within the definition.
she's insanely rich, the glass ceiling doesn't apply

Denying her due credit based on her sex and appearance is a glass ceiling. It's not just about achieving a position in the heirarchy alone, which you are correct she could just buy.
Or to continue the metaphor, she can buy a stair lift to reach the ceiling but she's still got more work to do before people admit she deserves the standard level of respect anyone else in her position would receive.
As all the Lemmycells rushed over themselves to prove repeatedly in these comments.
(to be fair being banned from reddit can just mean you were a decent person, people are getting banned left and left)
