    This isn't about a job but on the subject of degrading sexism; When I was literally eleven years old I had a soar throat and went to the doctor for it. The doctor(who was a male) had to give me a throat swab and when I didn't gag he said something along the lines of, "Your future boyfriend is gonna be real happy." I had no idea what he meant and my mum was so upset. Looking back, it's so humiliating that no matter how professional a situation is people are still horrible enough to think of remarks like that.

Like obviously it’s a hobby but when you sit and talk about serious issues, it feels like there’s an educational motivation behind it (as in my subscribers are young and surrounded by bad influence, I should try to be the voice of reason) and I always thought that maybe that’s one of the reasons why he became more comfortable with it? Or what you talked about with Philip defranco about people using UA-cam as a stepping stone for “bigger things” (as an example of motivation for other youtubers)

    As a woman in the finance industry, I totally relate to Cristine’s story on the sexist lawyer. I worked on the phones for over a year and I would get talked down to by men on a regular basis. They would flirt with me, call me “sweetheart,” or sometimes ask to speak with a man. Even in my current position, a lot of my clients will email in using “greetings Gentlemen” as the introduction. Mind you, both men and women have done that! But at the end of the day, most of my colleagues and superiors are women, which is super empowering. And I’m treated well by my male counterparts. At the end of the day, that’s all I can ask for: to be an equal.

      I used to run the library in the municipality where I lived, which at 28 I would say is a pretty big deal. But because I am female the mayor would still call me "girl". It wasn't a conscious thing on his behalf, and when I told him I didn't appreciate it he made an effort to stop, though not because he understood why it wasn't okay. It was a small thing, but it was just one more thing that made me feel like I was climbing an uphill battle to prove my competence - simply because of my gender.

    When Cristine started to talk about her work ex with the lawyer, I instantly thought, "oh no, sexual harassment" and then she told that he was being sexist, and I thought, "oh, he was just being sexist".
    I think that goes to tell that as individuals, especially women, we face so many degrading and threatening incidents all the time, that we're just grateful that our problem is "smaller", or "not life threatening". When in reality, being mocked, undervalued, ignored or not taken seriously is not a small or acceptable behavior.

    When Ben talked about how being a “good worker” could lead to extra responsibility and a heavier workload I could relate. It feels like when you put in extra effort, your “reward” is more responsibility. When you can handle it, management will give you even more to see how you’ll cope. The expectations for your work ethic is now higher than others and if you don’t perform at your usual standard (which is still higher than others) then you’re slacking. :/

I have a second manager at night and one other part-timer to close the whole department, but since they have two managers they expect higher sales and a lot of work done by the end of the day.

Like, we would kindly ask him to do things or try to explain things to him and he'd get offended because we were "just young girls, telling him, a man what to do". (we're all 21 up to 40 years old??)
    It's gotten to a point where there have been multiple complaints to our boss about him throughout the few weeks and now guess what our MALE boss did...
    ...he didn't fire him for his sexism or incompetence.
    He didn't put him in his place and protected us.
    Instead, he told us to be more cooperative and then he put him in charge of us. The man who has only been there for a few weeks. In charge. Of us.

    I'd be really interested in hearing about Cristine's and Ben's past relationships (both platonic and romantic). Not in a sense of spilling the tea about exfriend or exes in general, but more about what they have learned from them and what advice they might give since they seem to have one of the healthiest and most wholesome relationships I have ever seen

    Ugh... The Mrs comment.
    I was at a club with friends, getting some drinks. I was at the bar, waiting for my drink and this older guy comes up offering to buy me a drink. I politely refuse, so he tries to chat. trying to be polite but show that I'm not interested I gave him short answers. Then he asked about my job and I start telling him that I'm a sales manager at a company that deals with aircraft parts. He seemed genuinely interested so I kept telling him about it and explaining interesting things from the industry because I was very passionate about it at the time (I no longer work there) so he listens and then says "you're too pretty to work such a job". It was so disappointing. At perfect timing, the bartender placed out my shot of tequila. I replied "I'm also too smart not to", downed the shot and walked away. It was perfect.

He sued his parents of course, but he was only able to recover a small portion of the money. This sparked public outrage, thus a law called the "Coogans Act" was issued.

    Ben is a genuinely excellent interviewer. Thoroughly enjoyed this and as a 28 year old woman it is always interesting to hear other people's experiences and perspectives of sexism in the workplace. I have a first class degree in Media Arts and did a double credit module in Online Broadcasting (amongst other things). In 2018 at work I helped to turn a meeting room into a TV studio, and set up multiple cameras, mics and a lighting rig so we could film a Q&A with the CEO and broadcast it live to every single employee around the world. A man in the senior management team who had never met me before and knew nothing about me approached me afterwards and congratulated me on being a really good roadie for my (male) boss. I'm still furious about it.

Im still pissed but I was 17 maybe? I was so upset, he begged me not to complain about it, because he already had a strike on his record. I wanted to be okay with the joke, so I said it was fine. Hated that fucking job. Wishing now even at 39 years old that I had complained then. Me as an almost 40 year old versus me as a child, two totally different people.

      i was always told not to have boyfriends while in school, definitely shouldn't in high school because education first. my mom said she preferred i didn't have a relationship until after college even, but she doesn't expect it. fast forward to now where i'll be in my 30s soon... i really feel my dad expected me to be married (to a guy met in university, no doubt) by like age 22-24 with kids by 27 because 30 is too old, says him. my younger sister got married more than a year ago. she did not ask him to walk her down the aisle. and promptly set up life thousands of miles away out of state. that speaks volumes.
      because i am unmarried, my father blames my mom for not "training" me well and that it's her fault i turned out this way. as if his incompetence, idiocy, egoism, power trips, anger issues and lack of fatherhood didn't have an effect. he treats it like he was perfect and didn't negatively affect all us siblings. he reiterates that i'm not his daughter; i'm my mom's daughter so it was her job to "educate" me.
      for me, i just haven't yet met a guy who can commit to marriage or even long-term serious relationship. it just hasn't happened for me and that's fine if life doesn't work out that way. i don't really mind if i don't get married and don't have kids as a result. don't want to rush into a marriage for the sake of some arbitrary timeline. even if i don't have kids of my own, it doesn't mean that i can't be nurturing or mothering in some other way. my aunt (dad's eldest sister) was unmarried without kids. life goes on.
      it's gonna be interesting with my younger brother how the marriage situation will be dealt with around him if he's unmarried for much longer. i expect, no issue- because he's a guy and can be single for longer so he has more available time to find a wife, and wouldn't matter what age he becomes a father

Plus everyone should be able to wait until they find the right person for them as well. I hope I don’t sound disrespectful towards your dad cause I don’t intend that, but it just makes me angry to hear that from you! And a mom’s job isn’t to “train” her daughter to find a man. I’m glad you didn’t listen to him and did what was best for yourself! To me getting married at 22-24 sounds pretty young anyways, not that there’s anything wrong with getting married then. 30 is still young imo anyways, you’ve got plenty of time to find the right man for you 😉. And it’s disappointing to hear about the (probable) double standard when it comes to your brother. Ok sorry my rant is over now 😭

That's not a simple degree to take. My boyfriend has had uneducated questions about his degree - acoustical engineering - like asking if that's for making music. But that's down to people not knowing what acoustical engineering actually covers. Rather than that man who obviously knew enough to be demeaning because you're female (or appear to him as such, don't want to presume your gender). Technically the work he does now fits more into aero anyway (and his PhD was more on that) so I get to see a lot second hand stuff of what goes into that kind of degree and to be disrespected like that is just awful. How is/did your degree go by the way? Did/are you enjoying it?

    i felt it when ben talked about his job giving him more responsibility because he was a good employee. this is so common and i hate it. a similar thing happened to me where the company i worked for (also in retail) started taking advantage of me, and when i asked one of my managers why i had more to do than others on the same pay, i was told "because you're competent". that's not an excuse to take advantage of someones work ethic and overwork them.

But now that I’m out of that job, I just realized how many child labor laws he violated with me. I was working about... 8 hour shifts without a break after school sometimes (in my state you’re required a 30 min break every 4 hours if a minor) and I would close the cash drawer (again illegal if you’re a minor) as well as other things. I never got a pay increase because of it even though I was technically the manager of the store at like.. 16. I was making minimum wage just like the rest of the baristas.
