[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having problems with a huge misogynist at work. I was brought in to clean up his shop that he nearly ran into the ground.  They can't get rid of him so I have to work with him.  He likes pointing out to everyone how young and attractive I am and how it s a huge shame I have to put my kid in day care instead of staying home with him.

I talked to the department head about him and she said she would handle it but it only made him even more passive aggressive.  I hate going to work now.[/quote]

There are a couple ways I have found to deal with people like this.  
First, look at him with a blank stare.  Silence is deafening!  Then, turn to your co-workers and say, "So, to get BACK to the topic at hand...."

The second way is to look at him and say "Wow.  That is completely inappropriate and quite frankly, none of your business.  I would appreciate it if you would keep your child rearing suggestions to yourself."

It can be a little awkward to stand up for yourself the first time, but as long as you keep it appropraite and professional, it feels good![/quote]
