This female ship’s captain expertly took down a sexist – and it’s simply glorious
Captain Kate McCue was the first American woman to become the captain of a cruise liner and she updates her fans on her interesting life via her social media accounts on TikTok and Instagram, where you can ‘meet’ her cute and furless feline companion, Bug.
Of course, she’s no stranger to sexism and she’s more than a match for it, or she wouldn’t hold the position she does, but she decided to publicly put one sexist in his place after receiving yet another stupid comment on TikTok.
Here’s what happened.

In my captain’s chair.
BOOM! Not as in a part of a ship …you know what we meant.
The video ended up on Twitter.
