I'm fully aware I've been in the industry for 6 months. I said so, very clearly, in my post. I wanted very much to make sure that people knew that I have only been in the industry a short time but this was my experience so far. Frankly I find the idea that just because someone has a small amount of experience their opinion is invalid ridiculous and insulting. The only reason a newcomer's opinion might not be worth listening to is if they are pretending they have a wealth of experience. At no point did I do that.
I can only assume that the 2 years as a movie usher you're referring to is the 2 years as a teenager I spent volunteering at my local non-profit cinema whilst also doing my A-level exams and working a part-time job. I'm pretty sure the only place this is even mentioned online is on my LinkedIn profile, at the absolute bottom, after you would have scrolled past the various jobs I have held in sales and marketing, and local government (where as I mentioned in the post, I did in fact experience some sexism).
As for the final comment, I did indeed reread the article several hours later, before I wrote my post, to ensure that I still felt the same way. I actually found MORE that I disagreed with on a second read-through.
