I had to do more sexism callouts today, this time with the deputy in charge of the whole office. With me as the lowest person in there.

I’m not sure I really have the energy to do these rapid fire like this, but he literally stopped me on my way to lunch to joke about me cleaning out his fridge because that’s women’s work, and he’d heard about what I did to the last guy (apparently this story circulated to every higher up, fantastic), and thought that’d be funny for some reason???

when I told him that was a terrible thing to say, he said, “Oh, no, no it’s a joke.  All the men here are husbands, we get it with women!”  

I said that really was not any better and went to lunch.  

He found me later and said that as the head of the office, he ought to be a better example, and that he’d just tried to get in on what the last guy said to me to show me I was accepted as one of the crew.  I explained what was wrong, and that I would not stop calling this stuff out in the future.  He said he was going to pass around a ‘do not fuck with Lady’ notice.  

So, there’s that, I guess.  

The women I work with all advised me just to take it and participate in the misogyny instead of confronting it.

hahaaaa, my phone has informed me i am officially out of data until the fourth, fabulous
