We've all dealt with it to some degree.
Today one of my female superiors was bitching about one of my male superiors about some comment he'd made, how 'sexist' he is and how she's 'put up with all this for 20 years' and that if he doesn't watch it he'll be fired, I got a sinking feeling when she said that.
Whenever a woman makes sexist comments about men or how sexist we are towards them I get a sinking feeling, at first it was a feeling of guilt but now it's more like this feeling that we're playing on their turf, it's been like that for the past few years but even stronger now.
I've always been at the mercy of a sexist world that favors women, they have all the favor and they still bitch about this shit, I figure it's an irony I have to have a sense of humor about, if I'd have told her what was on my mind "are you fucking serious? what about all the shit WE have to put up with from YOU?".
Then she told him something like "don't call them girls, they're ladies", THAT was the basis for her sexist rant...jesus christ, I wanted to tell the bitch all the women in the office call us boys so wtf is she bitching about?? but I would have gotten in trouble for that, yet they can get away with any sexist remaks about men in the workplace, fuck this double standard.
I want to rise above this shit rather than be a victim but this sinking feeling I have prevents me from standing up, I don't have the words to say right away or the right ones because my emotions are too intense so if I opened my mouth in those moments I'd probably curse them out, one of these days though I don't give a shit if I get fired, I'm gonna tell a bitch.
I can't just sit there and put up with this shit, for one they've got their equality, and the world spins in THEIR favor, they're in a much better position than we are, it's ironic as fuck!!!.
Rant over.
Has anyone been in situations like this and put them in their place without losing their cool?.
