Men are pigs...

[nefertiti]

When I read the part about your law suit I should of known what type of person you. It explains a lot about your past posts on here....
You want to play in the man's world, then deal with the way men talk.

This has always sort of been my stance, I guess. I feel like a lot of the little comments come with the territory. I do what I can to not invite it or encourage it but I feel like if I make a huge fuss it will create office tension that's counterproductive to my work. So I don't complain, even in my private life, beyond sharing a comment and rolling my eyes. Maybe I should establish some verbal boundaries but I really don't know how to dance on that line. But I certainly don't see myself as any kind of "victim." Bleh.

That said, the vast majority of people I work with treat me respectfully now. There's only a couple of bozos left and one of them recently got fired.

Thank you.

I guess it depends on how uncomfortable you are willing to become just so that you don't - as you say - "create office tension".

Thank you.

I wasn't really agreeing with you...I still think the original guy mentioned is a pig, lol.

 

[blueta2]

You should have said "they", not "you're". Looked like you were refering to me. lol

It's ok.

oops...sorry about that

I once had a female client tell me she would fuck me if I didn't report her for suicide threats..

I did not care

Not at all - I was not placing any blame on the women - I was just thinking back and I can - in my own personal observations - find exceptions to the rule. I knew a very strong willed intelligent woman at my other office that was a magnet for inappropriate comments and she didn't stand for it. But the same guys that did that to her - wouldn't do the same thing to a more willing, a quite frankly better looking participant. I just wonder why some are targeted and some are not - that's all.

ok oh...sorry, I'm all worked up and will attack anything with a penis today...hah! Cept YW, who is void of a real penis!

Indeed. Most of it really doesn't affect me. My now fired supervisor used to make little comments all the time....sometimes boderline sexist, sometimes outright....but I genuinely waved them off and had a "whatever" attitude. He was especially ahrd on the few women in our department and I was the only one of the few who DID stand up to him on a couple of occasions when he was being an out of line jerk. I take the small stuff because it doesn't bug me. But if someone really makes me uncomfortable there's no way I'd just sit there and take it.

Had a dream last night about some guy I work with. Dreamt he was stealing my lunch and I got mad at him.
This guy is an older professional dude.
I get to work this morning and tell him in passing "I had a dream last night that you stole my lunch"
Then I sort of laughed
His reply "Ohhh, I had a few dreams about you that we were having sex and my heart was beating so fast I thought it would stop"
I was like That came out of left field!
My reply "too bad it didn't stop"

By the way, everyone I work with is very well aware that I was involved with a huge law suit against my company for sexual harassment. This ahole has SOME nerve!

Why are some men such loser pigs?!

Maybe he felt u were flirting with him
