Mavis Gallant & Jhumpa Lahiri in Granta:

MG: It was funny, the men at the Standard were friendly in a brother-sister knockabout way, you know. But they just didn’t want to work with women. One of them said to me, ‘You’re going over [to Paris]? What are you going to do? What are you going to live on?’ I said, ‘Writing. I’m going to write.’ He said, ‘What what?’ I said, ‘Stories.’ He said, ‘You know, you’re like an architect who’s never designed a garage.’ That was his view of what I was going to do. But I had a lot of stories I’d never shown anyone, so I fished one out, typed it and sent it to The New Yorker. I didn’t tell anyone. There was no note….And that came back, but with a letter, a very nice letter, saying we can’t use this…but is there anything else you can show us? So I sent a second one and they took it. They paid me six hundred dollars, which was more than I had ever had in the bank. I couldn’t believe it. And I made the great mistake of showing my colleagues at the newspaper my letter of acceptance. It was a great mistake. 

JL: Why?

MG: Because they were men.

Free markets are inherently fair. Those that seek to discriminate end up being discriminated against. Those who provide extra kindness are rewarded with more business.

It turns out you can just say any words in whatever order you want
