I have totally experienced this!!!!!
I have gotten the "What you don't understand"
"I'll take care of this" (Basically suggesting it isn't my place"
The attempt of trying to talk over my head as if I am a child
Making financial decisions without my input
ETC....
I initially felt angry, because of the idea that I was not smart enough (because I was a "girl) or simply because that wasn't my role. After the anger subsided, I made myself quite clear. I met the other person at the level they were talking at and let them know I could meet them toe to toe with intellect. I would be involved in financial decisions and just because I "choose" not to do certain things, in no way means I "can't" do them!!!
