wow. well, looking at the calendar you'd think that it was 2005. well, my friends, especially my women friends, you'd be deceived. i'm still hearing comments like "its men's work" ALL THE TIME. guys, get a clue. don't try to prove that you're the man by trying to belittle a woman or put her in "her place". actually try to do things that make you secure with being a man... whatever that is. it's enough. and you are not allowed to pass a woman over to a man if she's got more seniority and more skill and experience and talent and whatever. it's just not acceptable. GROW UP. no more demeaning jokes, no more comments behind our backs that we're feminists or that we're exagerating. if it's demeaning, derogatory, tasteless, it's just not funny. IT'S NOT THE WOMAN'S JOB TO GET ACCUSTOMED TO A MAN'S WORK ENVIRONMENT. it's an equal opportunity environment that shouldn't be male or female based. and it shouldn't be our problem that you can't compete or that you're not secure with yourself. god, get it together.
