My mom has gotten asked in several occasions to pass someone on the telephone line to “the man in charge”
My mom is the manager, and her mother owns the company
@hardwired or maybe they could say, the person in charge... you know, or is that a little difficult??
@hardwired you shouldn't worry about marriage rates cause with that grammar and attitude, you won't be getting married anytime soon xD
@@ankajagoda9796 trust me girls go for the guys who are rude and assertive not beat male politically correct pussys, and I've never seem a man turned down because of their poor grammar lol
@@user-eq1jv3oo5v you would know all about going for guys, wouldn't you? ^_^
@@ankajagoda9796 2/10 poor joke
'I see you've got the girls out'
Ew that's such a pervy thing to say.
And almost certainly never happened.
I have had a male co-worker say something incredibly similar to that to me. Just because you have never personally experienced it, does not make it fake.
"this channel has no content". Just like your posts. Why not report it?
OK then: I think you are full of shit. That better?
Your "comeback" is the fact that I have a youtube account simply to watch videos? Really? Also, why do you assume that I didn't report him? Your ignorant comment was about dismissing the experiences of women, not about whether or not we report those experiences. Bye bye troll.
I work in construction. In charge of 13 men. And I fix classic cars. Many peoole don't even want me to touch their cars because "a woman doesn't know as much as a guy"
Karina Ruiz Haha My maternal grandpa was your classic mysoginist who openly commented on women's "inability to drive masculine vehicles."
Then she got married to my father who's a trucker, and drove -alone- my dad's Kenworth w900 in her dad's face.
Do something similar when the occasion arrises :)
If people still think that in 2018, they need to be MURDERED!
My old part time English teacher said his father complained about women driving cars. Funny thing is, in some countries they only just let women drive cars.
Jane Doe leave their cars to break down 🙃🙃
What makes you think they are lying? I knew one girl in same position as OP and my friend who was her coworker complained about it all the time after work. Doesn't seem that farfetched to me :/
lmao at men who say " nobody says that" just cuz nobody says it to you or near you, it doesnt mean it doesnt happen
G Graham ok graham, are you:
A. Transgender
B. A third world feminist
C. Trying to preach in the BBC comment section
Such a Donald Trump style worldview! “If I don’t witness it firsthand, it doesn’t happen!”
Spookypichacat I’m not too sure about that. He definitely seems the type to be a Holocaust denier.
Zachary Matthew James I mean, anyone can be a holocaust denier really it’s not just the right wing
Spookypichacat It overwhelmingly is, though!
as a guy whose gonna enter the workforce soon, i hope i dont see anyone speak to women in the office like this. how could you talk to a fellow coworker like this?
Just open your mouth and let your heart sing
so people cant ask if you're ok? or can you make us a tea? Or someone who doesn't know the business to not expect a manager to be the first person they speak to on a phone call?
The Common Senseguy Do you actually have a job or is your occupation to sit around and comment on all of the post?
im disabled at the moment why do you want my work history
kamron henderson thank you friend
"I'm on my period" is tmi? What, do you hear that and just visualize period blood? When someone says they need to use the bathroom, do you just picture them taking a shit? If you have such intrusive, disturbing thoughts whenever someone says or does anything, then you should see a therapist. Why does everything have to be so formal and censored?
Absolutely agree with this comment but I think from now on I will always picture someone taking a shit when they say they're going to the toilet lol
And when you actually try to be sneaky and modest about it, they gonna ask: "why are you bringing your bag to the toilet?"~ ~
I have a very visual imagination. I picture almost everything someone tells me... but i never pictured someone having their period if they told me they had it
I'm sorry but the part about visualizing someone taking a shit made me laugh. I agree completely tho lol
The only people complaining about this video are people who've never experienced these types of comments, or people who SAY these types of things to others. Listen to these women, and try to put yourself in their shoes. As an example, I once had a friend who applied for a job and the only reason they didn't hire her was because they weren't looking for "eye candy." It's easy to forget that every person has a different experience in the workforce. Stop dismissing issues because they aren't happening to you. It's more than likely that your mothers, aunts, sisters, daughters, wives, and fellow coworkers have or will experience this.
I honest to God don't believe that happened. "I'm not hiring you because we don't need eye candy and I really want sued to shit for discrimination". I'm guessing it is an impossibility that they interviewed someone who was a better candidate?
I wish I were kidding lmao. Idk why I would make that up? Especially in this comments section of all places? But believe what you will. My friend isn't one to speak up about anything. She has too much to lose as it is and there's no way she could afford court costs. And I'm sure they interviewed tons of people with the same level of experience or more! I never said they didn't. It wasn't a fancy job? They still didn't have to treat my friend like that. I would feel terrible for anyone treated like that.
trip2themoon My mother was told point blank, on the interview, that they wouldn't hire her because she'd take time off for kids. That's hella illegal, but 20 years ago it was perfectly acceptable.
Ask any black lady in the professional setting , they'll tell you that they get those comments from ALL MEN and WHITE WOMEN. when i noticed how common this intense level of aggression was, i stopped having empathy, because the same white girls have trouble checking themselves even when their target is insisting this is NOT appropriate to tell someone this color does not suit them , or if they tan , or compare them to the random black girl you see on tv when they change their hair. In every professional setting i have seen black girls anticipate this aggression and believe when you are on edge because you feel you'll be abused. it does not make for an enjoyable work experience.
@@PHlophe what about asking about men at work ?
This is the most negative comment section I've seen on their "What not to say" videos. It really just proves that this is a huge problem.
Lunafae no it doesnt
how does it?
Because it shows men don't like being pointed out the wrong or fucked up things they do & they don't even want to speak up or out against the wrong things their fellow men do.
people do want that. people want equality don't they not for women to be treated differently this would be treating you differently. look everything apart from the last point is absolutely nothing. can you make us a tea. i used to get that as security guard walking throw a office lol. nice lumping all men into one category tho isnt that a bit bigoted
Miillie Mesh im a woman and i dont like the message that this video is portraying so your argument is kinda dumb
I've had a coworker tell me: "Oh, you're wearing lipstick today. Very erotic!" That was gross 🤢
Well lips usually redden during erotic moments... and here you are making it look that way via makeup
Steven where did they say it was red.
@@mars7609 Lipstick is way more likely to be a shade of red than any other colour.
Steven I have never once wore red lipstick,,,
@@mars7609 so what?
Mum had a guy come up to her and say "Sit down, little girl, this is going to shock you" when she was about to be told that her department was going to be shutdown.
She was 55 at that time.
Nixie The Pixie wrecked
Nixie The Pixie Being called girl and especially little girl annoys me so much. It is done on purpose to make the woman feel inferior like a child, helpless and with no control over a situation.
Lol
If someone phoned me up and said coffee please, I'd go make myself one and sit back down in my seat and drink it smiling and staring at the man who told me to make him one. Or is that just me hahaha
lauren mclachlan yes its just you cause who does that
UGSDIT someone who ain't gonna be told what to do cause they're too lazy to do it themself?
I have literally done that. If I'm stood by the kettle making myself one, fair enough if you ask me for a cuppa. If I'm engrossed in my work, don't.
lauren mclachlan if you are a p.a or a secretary that is part of your job to do that. have you not worked in that industry. that does not happen in a office situation. it goes in turns generally. the fact these things are the most hardest things for women to deal with just shows that there isnt anything bad women have to deal with at work. except the last one if that happens go to the police
The Common Senseguy it was only a wee joke haha I didn't mean anyone to take me seriously! I'm too shy to do that. But there it can be tough for women at work at lot of the time they are treated differently, not to mention a lack of pay in comparison to men
I once applied for a job at a frozen yogurt place and wore makeup to my interview, which I don't usually do. For my first - unpaid - training day i wore less makeup, and he told me I needed to put on more. I'm selling yogurt not makeup.
Totally girl.
Sometimes I feel like people just see the title, and immediately find a negative, sometimes sexist, comment to say. Women work in offices, as they should, if they want to and/or are cable. Women shouldn’t HAVE to wear high heels. Women shouldn’t be looked down upon because they’re women. I’m not saying anything outrageous here, but I feel like some people will get triggered. Are these first world problems? Yes. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t problems, and if you’re complaining about that, you’re no better. I doubt you only have third-world problems.
Edit: grammar
LLT 👏👏👏
LLT yesyesyesyesyes
SLAY
Women can do the same thing through. Harassment is harassment.
Chris Hansen it just says “what not to say to women at the workplace” not “ALL MEN HARASS WOMEN”
"You did that and you had a vagina?" LOL hahahahaha on point.
PLEASE do "Things Not To Say to People With Invisible Illnesses/Disabilities"!
My older sister has a plethora of problems (Evans Syndrome, Celiac disease, Aspergers, 2 types of anemia, a congenital heart defect, and she had a stroke in 2015, etc. etc. etc.) and I'm so tired of hearing people say to her stuff like "But you don't look sick"... "It can't be that bad if you're up and walking around and doing stuff"... "You're just making it up for attention"... "I've never heard of that so it must not be too serious"... "Stop complaining, there are people who are ACTUALLY sick"... It's infuriating and I want people to be more educated about invisible illnesses.
Or when people say "no, you don't look disabled so I'm not going to give you my chair that you need in order to not pass out/get ulcers/have chronic pain/etc."
Little Tuna I hope your sister lives her life to the fullest and just lives her life better than the people who make fun of her do.
gacygirl 24 Thank you for that, reading that gave her the biggest smile :)
Old people on buses stare at you if you don't have a walking stick/wheelchair. Even then, most don't seem to care. I wonder how they feel if you stuck a disabled bu pass in their face? I would but I hate arguing with idiots.
I'm on the autism spectrum too, & I'm so tired of hearing "but you don't look autistic" or "you seem like a normal person to me".
I get it's supposed to sound like a compliment, but rather much sounds like ignorance. Just because I'm an ADULT who hasn't got high functioning, doesn't mean I doesn't affect me everyday
At my last job in an engineering company, it became clear that some of the all male board of 30 directors had a habit of going in to female dominated departments and walking over to the minority men in that department to sort out any job/issue they had, bypassing any female senior employee they should have been consulting. There was also comments about those men in these departments being “one of the girls” or need to move to other parts of the business to gain back their masculinity, implying working with loads of women or under them is somehow degrading.
Women need to be present in directors boardrooms, no matter what industry.
I am a nurse. My field is dominated by females. I got a raise and bonuses for my efforts and not my gender. I get asked to do "man" stuff like lift heavy stuff etc. I don't whinge about it. I don't fret over how other men's perceived masculinity of me. I have a lovely wife and kids who motivate me every day to be the best man I can be. I also don't whinge about men being absolutely non-existant from my supervisory structure. I do my work and am promised a promotion upon completion of discussed goals. I have no reason to believe they would deny me that promotion if I achieved stated goals. I also served 6 years in the U.S. Army which was dominated by men. I could not expect the same treatment BECAUSE THEY HAD INCENTIVE TO PROMOTE BASED ON GENDER AND RACE. Could we please strive to have a merit based system in place for ANY/ALL fields of work?
Women need to be 50% present everywhere. We need representation for people equal to how they make up the general population
Ah yes, all those female dominated departments in engineering.
Charla Lala Keep making your demands, you are only destroying yourselves. You all will end up lonely.

Where is my bossy juice?
Men get "toxic" and "aggressive" apparently. If only it were just assertive
@@yoogeo1 they are aggressive. Yelling is aggressive
@@NoName-sp5dp but when women yell they're just being assertive, right?
Hey stupid libtard you are wrong
Omg, so true..don't wear makeup "are you ill?" And wear makeup and I'll get "all dressed up? What's the occasion?"
I understand why men are asking 'why isn't there a man version' but, can we just have a video focused on women's experiences without it being brought back to men????
katy Broad you can but its just annoying when women complain about the same shit over and over, some of it not being a problem at all
UGSDIT
and you are part of the reason these issues still exist. The reason we complain over and over is because they aren't getting fixed. Not believing women that these are problems only perpetuates not fixing these issues. So, you see, by not believing women you help create the problem you want to stop(i.e. complaining)
Shayniac many of them arent getting fixed because they arent real problems worth fixing, many are also not fixable such as a sexist boss or something.
UGSDIT Please tell me what are some problems not worth fixing.
Lauren Smith for example the high heels thing, its a professional enviroment so you need to look professional and for women that might mean wearing high heels
I get "hey beautiful" from my male coworker whose my parents age and I'm seventeen🤢 it's so uncomfortable
oyú·kwalaˀ onékliˀ how awful
Yeah same, or when you did something for them and they say "thank you, sweetie." It's so uncomfortable.
'Aw, thank you, Grandpa', or 'Aw, you're welcome, Grampy' That's what you say in return, with your best 'aren't old people adorable' voice and facial expression. And then call them that for a few weeks whenever you speak to them... it'll either sort them out or get HR involved.. win whichever outcome.
Segada Assomaha Ew.
I had similar in a street by women but I guess it only counts if it is said by a man.
Can't tell you how many times older men have told me to smile at work. My male coworkers are never told to smile. You're not giving me paychecks, I'm not gonna smile for you.
@@Network-yp8de Fantastic advice 👌
You know it’s a problem when there’s a video about women and it somehow comes back to men saying “WHat AboUT UUuuUss”
Yeah seriously.
Yeah its also a problem when people post some about men and women say "oH yEah WelL thAT dOEsnT couNt bEcUz weVE hAd iT worsE"
Women do the same thing.

The last guy who told my manager she was bossy had to look for a new job the next day.
Molly Rogers fuck yes. She is the damn boss.
Oh look, a woman abusing her power that she's not biologically or socially used to. How shocking!
Steve Steven
More like a boss who happens to be female firing a worker who is immature and not fit to work with others.
+Noodles4Anime More like a boss being unable to take criticism and letting her ego get the better of her
Steve Steven
More like it's ironic calling your boss bossy and I bet male bosses would do it too.
Can you really be fired for not wearing heels? Why not flats?
hinata167 it depends on what job it is and how strict they are with the dress code. but it's very rare it can happen. plus some employers find flats unprofessional- again that is entirely on the job and dress code strictness.
I imagine a catwalk model might get fired for refusing to wear them.
That's a point that is ignored; it's up to the employer to define the strictness of the dress code. Usually it was made so people wore simple, usually business wear, for jobs so that you would focus on work. It's why uniforms work so well; everyone dresses the name, nothing to complain about. Khakis and polo shirts are two of the most common pieces of clothing in the U.S. workplace
Normal heels/flats should be ok but some companies literally tell women to wear -high- heels
hinata167 As Emma mentioned, its not exactly common but yeah it can happen. Just like any other dress code violation, if you've been warned about it (either once or twice depending on the employer), continuing to dress against the code is a legitimate fireable offense.
Things not to say to someone with an invisible illness please. 🙏🏽
gigglyfitzgirl Just curious, are you thinking more mental illness or internal illness ex. IBS, frequent migraines kind of thing?
All of them, Kenzi. Quite a few of us have more than one. ;)
Lesley Kidney I know. I have a number of issues, I was just curious what kind of "invisible illness" the original commenter meant.
Kenzi J Physical invisible illnesses. I think mental illnesses should get its own separate video.

Because i can TOTALLY leave "my girls" at home tf man
if i could, i would. lmao
@@minymunch for what? detachable boobs?
Gah, questions like that bring out all the snideness in me.
"Calm down, dear." -- I am calm, moose.
"Is it that time of the month?" -- (wide-eyed & innocent) What time? "Oh, you know." -- (still innocent) No. What do you mean?
"Can you make us some teas, love?" -- *Can I*? Yes. Will I? No.
"Can I speak to your manager?" -- You already are.
"I see you've got the girls out" -- Well I can't exactly leave them at home, can I?
"You're got a lovely pair" -- (holds up a foot and admires shoe) Thanks! I got them on sale..
Holy shit I can't believe that women are treated like that in a workplace! It makes me sick!
It's true, I remember going through the typing pool and saw a woman near a filing cabinet, the manager walked by smoking a cigar and smacked her ass.
I mean, come on, it's 1956, men need to grow up.

I had a man say to my boss (male), after he'd spoken to me and two other female colleagues, "you train your girls like rottweilers, you need to feed them more often"
This was a business owner, talking to my boss... He wanted a discount for paying a bill he owed, in full, but long after it was overdue.
Myself and my colleagues all said no, as did my boss. He got really stroppy after speaking to me. 😂

THINGS NOT TO SAY TO PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY
Mickey King ''just get over it, what's the big deal''
Mickey King “youre just lying about having anxiety to get attention” okay but im not lying
Mickey King “just calm down”
“There’s nothing to be anxious about”
To be honest, if you have anxiety, why would you want attention? You normally want to avoid that.
A really great video but such a terrible comment section
Horrible video
Really terrible video, the entire series is really terrible, mildly amusing comment section.

"Not enough information."
I've heard stories of men (of all ages) having no idea how periods work, and thinking they're optional or just an excuse for women to go to the bathroom more often.
Also, if this is an office setting, i'm sure many of you can imagine what is said to women in the service industry, especially waitresses (and yes, it can get extremely bad).
"you're a firecracker!", "smile!", "good girl", "you're difficult" (for doing the same thing men do, but I do it more politely).... ugh....
Am i the only one that wants one about anxiety

If, in a corporate setting, I ever get asked to make tea, I will bring them a cup of tea so weak and milky it will offend those asking.
lady monochromicorn I would make the tea and then drink it in front of them "Oh, YOU wanted tea? Guess you better go make some, then."
This is actually a great plan! Do it, but be so rubbish about it that they never ask again :-P

I hate hearing things like that. Even when not directed at me. The fact that I have a vagina does not does not effect the fact that I can do the job.
This video makes me kinda sad, but it’s a positive thing that these women are so high up in their professions in-spite of all the ignorant comments they receive. I know there’re people here who think it’s all feminist bollocks, but we really aren’t asking for much; if you wouldn’t say it to a male college don’t say it to a woman. hopefully most sexist men- or women even- will see this as a lesson. Maybe if we have more successful women so it becomes the norm these issues will eventually die down.

They'll need to do it about 3 times
the dislikes are all men who've said this stuff hahah
This isn’t just at work. In school whenever I get annoyed a boy will go, “Is it that time of month?” That really makes me pissed. Apparently I can’t get annoyed without it being a sign of how emotional I am or some other complete bull crap. You are just being annoying, it’s not me being emotionally unstable. (An example is when a boy is humming a song over and over and won’t stop after I’ve asked him nicely a bunch of times, and I’ll get annoyed and then people assume I’m on my period.)
AwesomePerson Just start at them deadpan and say "How am I supposed to know if you've got your period? Maybe you ought to go check."

Just by the sheer amount of just horrible comments in this comment section you can tell this is still a big problem!
I worked in retail and if I was kneeling to do a task old, white men would always come and say "say a prayer for me while you're down there". #1. you didn't say that to my male co-worker... #2. You might have missed it but I'm actually at work at the moment... #3. I'm an atheist... we don't pray.

+Hitler ... said the guy who couldn't get it up to even try to reproduce :-)
That will be interesting. I want an episode of this
Matt Mosley What would be in the video though? I've only been asked "Is it a religious thing?", "Oh, so you're waiting for "the one" right?", and "Then why do you take birth control?" And none of those are really bothersome; 1 & 2 can be answered 'yes' or 'no' and 3 with "for medical reasons". I guess what I'm asking is, what kind of questions do you get that you feel a whole video could be made?
People need to calm down. No one cares when these are about teachers, doctors, short people or tattoos but as soon as they do one about anything vaguely political like race or gender everyone loses their minds and shouts buzzfeed. They're probably going to do men later
How can you just straight up deny the experiences of women?
eilidh macleod the experiences of 8 people count for the experiences every woman will have at work...
Then you're lucky.
If they do men, it would be ground breaking. They are never going to do men.
They might do Muslim men or Black men, you know, something that will allow them to continue beating the dead horse of victimhood - but even then I wouldn't hold my breath.
The correct response to “calm down” is a dead-eyed “what... I don’t look calm to you?”

I dont think the statement ' can I speak with your manager ' is necessarily aimed at women, I think it's just that people expect a manager to be in an office at the back or something and you, the worker talking to the customer, to go to the back and get them for the customer.
I apologise if my wording was confusing...
The one joke that gets old is "uh oh, must be pregnant," if you ever mention not feeling well.
If a woman wants to wear a skirt and heels then yeah, as long as she wants to then it's all good, but she shouldn't HAVE to because heels can be uncomfortable and when you have something to do you want to feel comfortable.
Lots of salty men here who can't stand a female-themed video. To those men, what "things not to say" have YOU heard PERSONALLY at WORK? Consider this comment your safe space and feel free to share experiences below. Note, not what people say about white males but what people have said to YOU about YOU. If you post a legitimate hurtful/sexist comment you've received about yourself you'll get a thumbs up and sympathies from me. If you regurgitate circlejerk complaints that haven't happened personally to YOU, you get a thumbs down.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm dealing with some of those people today. D:
If you're upset you have to be emotional bc it's an emotion
I don't see the problem with the lipstick issue. Some colours are not suitable for work, depending on the workplace of course. Rocking up for a client facing corporate meeting in neon green lipstick is probably not the best. Just as it wouldn't be if a man wore a bright yellow suit to the same meeting, or if a white woman wore coffee brown foundation. Some things are just not advisable for particular situations
Do Things not to say to people with ADHD.
When I worked in an office, I was frequently asked to make tea for everyone - despite me never drinking tea & it not being part of my duties.
I was fired for reporting harassment from my former manager and when I showed them evidence of it they blamed my "attitude" and lack of "team player mentality".
"oh so you did that AND had a vagina!?" So amazed 😂 love that
I’m a 13 year old boy and me and my year were on a 3 day trip to an activity thing... place and one of the activities was a huge zip wire. My group leader was a really horrible/cruel female teacher. The waiting line we stood in was about 40 kids long and for absolutely no reason our group leader just brought all the girls to the front and pushed all the boys to the back. I asked her why she did it and she just completely blanked me. THAT is sexist.
Will Shubadah teachers always get away with endorsing misandry these days :(
randomsheep11 thanks for replying but, umm... what does misandry mean haha
Will Shubadah It's a word for sexism against men
Misandry - sexism against men
Misogyny - sexism against women
Will - I bet if you reported her, nothing would get done. But if it was the other way round the male teacher would get fired without even a hearing.
Yes. Yes it is. Gender equality is when both girls and boys get the place in the line regardless of gender. She shouldn't bring boys to the front either. And may you carry this example with you your whole life young man.
4:31 If a woman is trying make a suggestion or tell you what you need to do she is bossy but if a man dose it he is being a leader and proactive
PREACH, LADIES.
Also I will def be making use of some of the great comebacks here ! xD
Things I've had at work (and other females I've worked with):
1) why are you single, you need a man to settle down with - answer is I don't need anyone I'm perfectly happy on my own, I'm self supportive, don't keep asking me and don't point out every new guy in the office and ask if he'll do
2) why don't you have kids/ when are you having kids (this was to a co worker of mine after she got married - it was every week and she had already answered once, so I kept intersecting and asking them when and why are they having kids, I'd make slightly uncomfortable comments to make them feel as uncomfortable as they were making her feel, like t a religious girl saying she doesn't need to get married first just be a single parent, and to a guy too
3) commenting on my figure, I've even had a woman (who I was not friendly with) touch my hips saying I wish I was as skinny as you ... why can people not just say they like my clothes or I look nice without justifying its because of my size, no matter my size if something looks good on me just say that I look nice, no justification or comparison needed
REQUEST: Things not to say to people with Trichotillomania
As if anyone that isn't in the field of psychology or suffers from it themselves would even know what it is lol. Most people that have it don't even know they do. I only discovered it was a thing a little over a year ago, at age 29, and I've been pulling hair out since age 10 or 11. I just took for granted it's that annoying and embarrassing thing that only really me in particular would do, and never bothered looking into it.
Agreed! I don't think you should make any comments about appearance in the workplace. It's not necessary and it's really rude
OMG it's the lady from Corrie. She called out Piers Morgan once. That makes her fabulous
I don't know if you've done it but you should do Things Not to Say to Someone Who's Missing a Limb. (And you should include people who've lost limbs and people born without them.) I had a friend who's mom was born without the lower part of one of her arms and, being a child I never talked to her about it, and now that I'm older I'm glad because I'm sure I would have been *_so_* rude.
If someone doesn't work with you or have met the manager before, how can they know who the manager is?
Its a shit point. They want a reason to complain abput nothing.
Being bossy isnt a good trait either, not even in men.
I thought that I'm sure there are men who get the same questions
This one bugged me, too. Unless you've already led that person to believe you're the manager, why would they just assume you are? I would wager women and men get asked for a manager about the same amount.
The reason why they complain about that us because it's very common for people to always say "who's the man in charge." They almost never say it the other way.
One time I asked a girl that is my friend " is it that time of the month?" And let's say she beat me black and blue until I said I was a pink dinosaur.
I have never asked that question since.
Feminism for the win!
I have some things I need to get off my chest from watching this:
1) Periods in all spheres, everywhere, need to be un-taboo-ised. It's bs that you have to be secret about a natural bodily function, it's nothing to be ashamed of. This myth that you have to keep it hidden is perpetuated by tampon and pad companies, on their packaging they always boast how their products are discreet. Bitch please, there is no need for that. I hate the way we use so many euphemisms about menstruation: that time of the month, women problems etc. Call it what it is.
2) I agree, when a woman has a job, her title is always referred to with "woman" before it like: woman director, woman doctor.
3) I don't think you have to be bossy to be a good leader. Our idea of leadership is completely masculine-centric, you don't have to be domineering, commanding and warrior like, we need to deconstruct this idea and show that there are many ways to be a leader.
4) The first person in a white t-shirt oozes sexiness ♥
"It's just me w/out makeup", LOL, had that situation just a few weeks ago. xD
My friend shouted out to the school that she had her period it was bloody hilarious
“You’re boring. Do one.” That ending comment was brilliant 😂
Ok the last one and time of the month are completely inappropriate. Why would any guy say that. The bossy thing, id rather be called bossy than aggressive. Ties and suits are not comfortable btw. Men get can i speak to your manager too. I think there is some things here that has nothing to do with gender.
I hate calm down. The most frustrating thing ever.
"you're so bossy!" "Oh, thank you, darling! now go get me my coffee, will yea?"
Where the heck are these women working?? Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've never heard anything even close to these comments
I don't they are working any more. They are living off the money they have won off the sexual harassment lawsuits they have filed against all these nasty companies that they worked for that only seem to employ men who are filthy, sexist perverts. I'd like to know where they worked so my girlfriend can get a job there and then maybe win some money for sexual harassment. We could be doing with a new car.
Well since you've never experienced it I guess it doesn't exist
Alexis Madelyn Rau never leave. You are VERY lucky.
I hear snide comments as a female med student, I assume it's gonna get worse when I become employed. Admittedly, most of the sexism comes from the older generations and they are slowly leaving
TheCherroes go away internet troll lol
