When faced with sexism or ageism or lookism or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question:"Is this person in between me and what do I want to do?"

Do your thing and don't care if they like it.
When people say, "You really, really must" do something, it means you don't really have to. no one ever says, "You really, really must deliver the baby during labor." When it's true, it doesn't need to be said.
