Imposter Struggles Confessed

| I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise. | |
| I am a walking declaration. | |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
| Of course it is. | |
| She just checked the boxes of cisgender, millennial, etc., and person of color and child of immigrant. | |
| She's not a box-checker? | |
| Who wrote this ad? | |
| She should have rejected it. | |
| Whoever she is. | |
| I don't care who she is. | |
| I'm not picking on her. | |
| I'm picking on the CIA. I'm not a box checker. | |
| The whole damn ad is box checking. | |
| Did you just do thumbs up, Sean? | |
| With regard to what? | |
| Oh, the point I just made. | |
| Wow. | |
| Whoa. | |
| I don't get that very often from you. | |
| It was the thumb, right? | |
| Okay. | |
| Continue, please. | |
| I am a walking declaration, a woman whose inflection does not rise at the end of her sentences, suggesting that a question has been asked. | |
| I did not sneak into CIA. | |
| My employment was not and is not the result of a fluke or slip through the cracks. | |
| I earned my way in, and I earned my way up the ranks of this organization. | |
| I am educated, qualified, and competent. | |
| And sometimes I struggle. | |
| I struggle feeling like I could do more, be more to my two sons. | |
| And I struggle leaving the office when I feel there's so much more to do. | |
| By the way, you'll notice the absence, I think, I don't remember the whole ad, so far, I could do more and And... | |
| You would think the logical conclusion to the sentence is, for my country. | |
| Isn't that why you're in the CIA? For my two sons. | |
| I think it's beautiful. | |
| But what does that have to do with the CIA? | |
| What did Gutfeld say? | |
| That's Gutfeld's a riot. | |
| They replaced CIA with TMI. That is good. | |
| Continue, please. | |
| I used to struggle with imposter syndrome, but at 36, I refused to internalize misguided patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be. | |
| Oh, good. | |
| Well, at least they got an attack on the patriarchy. | |
| No woke Ed is complete without an attack on the patriarchy. | |
| I don't know what the imposter is. | |
| Because I'm not acting, you explain to me intersectionality, which I still don't quite get why I'm intersectional, but I will explain to you this one. | |
| What is it that you're asking me again? | |
| Imposter. | |
| Oh, imposter. | |
| So she is not acting in a fake way that the patriarchy would want her to act. | |
| By the way, if you had to bet your savings, does she have a husband? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I would say no, too. | |
| Right. | |
| Go ahead, please. | |
| Oh. | |
| All right. | |
| We have a few seconds left. | |
| This is what the CIA has become. | |
| Just remember, whatever the left touches. | |
