Why you furrowing your brow at me?
I would think that you of all people-- This hospital's first female chief of surgery-- Would fight for a woman to get paid at least as much as any man.
This is about Meredith Grey.
I mean, if you do not value her enough, then just--
It is inappropriate for me to discuss the salary of another employee.
She deserves more, and you know it.
I do, and don't ever suggest to me that I do not stand in sisterhood with other women in this hospital. You've never been 4'11" tall and overlooked and called 'girl' by your male colleagues. You don't know. I am woman. Hear me roar. But I've already mentored Grey. I've already taught her what she needs to know. And now that I'm chief of this hospital, it's not my fault if she's not used the skills that I taught her. And it's not my job to be giving away money when it's not asked for. You have coddled her. Y--Y-- Since Derek, you have coddled her, and I won't do that. No, she needs to rise. And she needs to rise on her own so she knows she can rise on her own. Because... You may not be here the next time she falls. She needs to fight for herself.
Okay.
This is what a feminist looks like, sir.
