My boss loudly exclaimed, ‘You’re not just a pretty face!’ which is cool because I love when a woman’s competence and intelligence is treated like a shocking revelation.

If there were any justice in this world, that would have been the moment when you nonchalantly removed your face from the rest of your body, hovered in the air, and calmly replied,
It’s always fascinating catching the subtle nuances in how male-dominated workplaces talk about women. The VP is a woman, and when one guy looked visibly shocked, another reassured him with, “Don’t worry, she really knows her stuff.” Like… oh thank god, she’s competent! 💀
Haha, thank you. I laughed! He meant it as a compliment, I think, but he’s a man, so naturally that usually comes with a side of accidental undermining. Bless their hearts, they really do try. 😆😉

My response was "How come you don't?" But not always out loud. You still have to pick your battles, don't you?
"Nah, you had it right before."
With said shower being like 4 subsequent showers later.
I picture your boss like the Mayor of Amity:
Burn bright, clever comet. And if they flinch, good.
