Sex & Shenanigans

I don't care at all in my day to day life. However, I specialize in new construction and have to deal with developers & contractors daily. All are religious, middle aged men who cannot believe that intellect and boobs exist in the same body. I hate it, but it is what it is
Having to deal with some these stereotypes myself, it's frustrating AF.
And to your point, it is what it is and we rise above it.

B&B - Boobs and Brain. Forever!

Speaking on behalf of religious, middle-aged men... I got nothing. Most of us could act a whole lot better.
 
I must admit I have a very difficult time with Indian accents, especially on the phone...
Well. Accents are hard. And also infuriating.

I had a witness on a criminal case in Newcastle,UK and it took me a fucking long while to understand her and while I was frustrated with her, I wasn’t a total POS to her - Some of my colleagues said she sounded hot etc. Same with the Italian lady.

But when we have to talk to our Indian and Mexican colleagues we totally treat them like shit. And mock them afterwards.

I think as Americans we frequently think people with accents outside of Europe are not competent and we find them easy to dismiss. But god - do we love us some European white country accents. Lol. Sooo dreamy 😂

I believe that tits and intellect can coexist. I call it titellect

Where the hell in the Pacific Northwest are you???
I'm sorry that you have to deal with that kind on BS.
Round here in Northwest Ohio, there are a lot of females that work construction and they aren't treated that way.
Lot of them are the daughters of workers, that grew up round the job, so they fit right in.
 
As someone who’s worked in construction management for almost a quarter of a century, I’m shock to find intellect in middle aged men in the industry.
And yet, everyone looks at the white guy to my left for answers instead of me who's running the presentation. Then it gets awkward when he has to say "IDK, ask Tig, she's the specialist"

It's everywhere. Even the most woke blokes can't maintain eye contact at times. There's a great article about a firm that was having a production issue with one of their designers. The owner accidentally crossed emails, and found that the client's were questioning absolutely everything this employee did. Looking further, they found that every female encountered this, and effected their time lines immensely. Change the name on the email to a guy, and suddenly the work was accepted at face value without question. No one thinks they're sexist, but it still effects every aspect of a woman's life.

Why do you think there are so many intelligent, professional woman on Lit? It's a safe place to be sexual & feminine without impacting our real life

Honestly, if I've got the girls out on display, I don't fault anyone for glancing. I mean, they're beautiful. But there's an undefinable difference between glancing and creeping. You can just feel it, though I can't put it into words.

and also the reason why so many female authors go with their first initial as their pen name. A female sounding name on the cover reduces sales without fault.

I'm so happy I've found all of you :heart:

I can't find that specific one, as I recall it was a graphic design firm. But this one is eerily similar.

I just googled "company owner trades email with female employee" and there were tons of result with similar situations. Guys don't understand what we deal with at work until they literally step into our shoes.
