However, the LW also makes it clear that she thinks her degree, experience, and creative/tech position make her better than a mere admin—a superior attitude I cannot condone. I wish Alison had addressed this point more directly.

OMG YES THIS. I totally agree with the LW that her superiors are being ridiculously sexist, but I really dislike the superiority aspect.

It reminds me of discussions about being "not like other girls" where in their efforts to push back against having feminine-coded things thrust upon them many girls and women absorb and echo the idea that feminine-coded things are necessarily to be despised, are necessarily lesser.
