Sexism in the workplace
I am also the only woman, only woman of color, and the youngest coincidentally. I've never had any serious issues other than one of my coworkers who said racist and sexist ccomments toward me and thought I wouldn't call his old ass out on it.
I haven't had any of my other coworkers say anything out of the way to me and I consider myself lucky. As for the old fart who was saying racist and sexist shit to me, I cursed him out one good time and he hasn't said anything else to me. While I don't recommend cursing at someone, sometimes that's the only way you can get someone to listen.
Keep your head up and work it!

Posted by ImTheRamSo you resent her for being granted maternity leave? Why is that?
Sure..but i think that my side of things...do conflict with yours...
I feel like women have way more privileges on my workplace...
Yes...there is sexism...but this sexism, when used right by some women....makes them climb some stairs...
I've also seen women that were 6 months preagnant and decided to call the doctor so they woldn't work more untill the pregnancy and the baby period time....so about 6 months at home for *free* ?
So ye...There are both side of the coin...
Not everyone is the same...and not all women do this ofc...but women...are not inocent at all...
😉
What kind of work is it that you do?
Can you give a specific example of a woman using sexism that is directed at her to 'climb'?
Posted by xXxAliciaXxXIf you could reverse time and go back would you still react the same way?
In the military I experienced A LOT of sexual harassment.
I was a kid when I joined. Wasn't sure what to do or how to go about it.
I didn't want to be looked at as "that sensitive girl" who reports people. Didn't want to be looked at as a snitch. So I just took it and brushed it off the best that I could.
Posted by xXxAliciaXxXYou should have said something. Who knows how many women they probably did that to and got away with it or worse. Don't ever be afraid to speak up. 🙂

When I work in bars where im from I notice girls who are only hired have boob jobs and are expected to flaunt their tits for tips, fucking putrid

I work in the electrical industry.
More women now than when I started, but not a lot of sexism once the guys see that a woman can perform just as well.
There may be a little sexism at first if they've never worked with me but again, if the job is done right, they drop that chit quick.
I sometimes use being female to my advantage. Being flirty works.

Tbh, I'm used to it. Not the first or last time I experienced sexual harassment. I'm pretty numb to it actually.
Doesn't make it right or ok by any means, but I'm just being honest.click to expand
That's sad that you've became used to it. I hope that you find the courage to tell if it happens again. People need to be held accountable for their actions.
Posted by sultrykittyYeah that's how I go about it. I typically don't make it a big deal and prove to them through my work that I know what the fuck I'm talking about, having tits doesn't change that.

Still...sometimes my patience is exhausted and I have to shut it down.
Posted by LadyNeptuneThankfully I haven't dealt with it much. Absolutely no sexual harassment, just the occasional "little missy" attitude.Posted by sultrykittyYeah that's how I go about it.

my last job was male dominated .....I did experience sexual harassment
I tried to ignore the sexual harassment as long as I could ....until the offender became bold (probably by the fact I wasn't doing anything about it to tbh) and felt the need to start TOUCHING ME during a meeting .... I ended up SNAPPING out in front of everybody...after that I didn't have any other problems from the offender or anybody else ....
I didn't handle right....I should have reported the problem as soon as it started ..😢

I've had extreme sexual harassment- it was very damaging and I ended up quiting that job, so when I encountered it the 2nd time in my career, much older and wiser, I took the appropriate steps and put an end to it
Posted by AliensusedourbogrollWhats a dongas? Are you from new zealand or australia?
I worked as a cleaner at the mines. The top 2 stories that stand out are.....
1) One of the cleaners was at the bar having a drink. When she walked back to her donga with her next door neighbour she found her door a tiny bit open and a guy that had been sitting opposite her at the bar laying in bed waiting for her. Earlier on in the night she had taken out her key and put on the table in front of her to grab money from her pocket. This guy thought she had put the key in front of him to take so he could go to her room because she wanted to hook up with him. Very awkward. I know it's not sexual harassment in the normal sense but still.
2) This one's my fave. 2 of the cleaners (late teens/early 20s) were sitting outside their dongas having a beer and some guy approached them. He told he had been on site for nearly a month and was really horny. He then proceeded to offer them money to have sex with him. They laughed because they thought he was joking but nope! He said he was really serious. The girls told him to fuck off. He then told them his name and if they change their mind, to meet him at room blah blah —. This guy was soooo obviously clueless. Even as he was being escorted off site he still couldn't understand what he had done wrong. The guys he worked with reckon there was something off about him.

I'm in lighting but I was the "artsy" black sheep of the family. I guess it's in my blood.
I ignore it but I often give back to my boss (he's old so he relates back to the 60's 70's when women stay home) what he dishes out ie..
He would say when we're in a car heading to a meeting.. "oh that was a guy in that car because he gave way", I would say "sheesh must be a guy driving that car because he didn't give way". 😄

Dongas are what we call the bedrooms people stay in. A standard donga has a bed, side drawers, cupboard and a bathroom. If you're lucky u get a tv!
I'm from Australia.

Gotcha...like the equivalent of a hostel.
I was at the stone yard today to select some boulders and the dude helping me with my selection was way out of line. I'm still kinda fuming about it.
Posted by LadyNeptuneI had a guy claim 3 hours overtime at Disney today.

Now... if he ever entered his time, this would be
funny as hell.
But he doesn't-- I have go through his jobs and
figure out what's missing, then enter it myself
so we can bill.
I haven't decided how I'm going to handle yet
Too pissed atm. >😢

Do you like hairy balls, bald balls,

How much jealousy /envy do you have when you encounter this?

again, this comes up with man's profession because women seem to enjoy abuse/cheating in a relationship if the man is a president of a company or owns his multi-billionaire company.
