[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These comments happen all the time. It’s what the kids call “micro aggressions.” Nothing good comes from calling out this behavior. Women who call out this behavior get labeled as “difficult,” “not a team player,” or worse a “feminazi.” Men sit through endless HR trainings on behavior and still say these things. Welcome to working with men! I work in a male dominated field and get comments like this all the time. It slowly wears you down then you get to retire.[/quote]

1.  Microaggressions aren’t real.  It’s a completely made up concept for people who are DESPERATE to be offended.

2.  Work on your sense of humor and your bantering skills.  You don’t have to be so freaking serious all the time.

3.  I work in a male-dominated field (I’m a woman) and I joke around around with my colleagues constantly.  Sometimes they make a sexist joke that is funny, so you know what I do?  I laugh!  Then make a sexist joke right back.  So rather than being bitter and counting the days to retirement, I have a fun and respectful working relationship with my colleagues and continue to enjoy my job.

But if you think constantly complaining about what are essentially harmless BS comments that will have no actual impact on your career or your life is worth it to advance the feminist cause or something, then have at it.[/quote]

Jesus Christ.  You are incredibly immature and you sound exhausting.  Hopefully you’re pretty, otherwise I cannot imagine anyone putting up with you for any length of time.[/quote]
