“While you should treat all women in and out of the workplace respectfully, #MeToo is not about that, or about protecting women. The movement is about the raw exercise of the power to shame, to destroy lives and careers, and to change the fundamental dynamic in male-female interpersonal relations in and out of the workplace.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I worked for years (20) in a male-dominated work environment. I expected respect from them and I got it & gave it in return. I also thanked them for opening doors, shared some great conversations where I could easily have become ‘offended’ if I were thin-skinned, and achieved a high level of success/position in the organization. Men and women ARE different - they communicate differently and I found that out early - I chose to appreciate those differences rather than try to change them (i.e. the men). There were occasions where I had to stand up for myself and land a few “punches”, but while the guys were surprised a woman would do that, they were not only surprised, but impressed. With the exception of one guy (who was worse for wear when I got through with him), it was a great experience. To those #metoo womyn who are “b!tching” about the way men are now ‘walking on eggshells’ I say this:

SELF-INFLICTED & you deserve what you’re getting - unfortunately, you are ruining it for all women, but then again, that is what you Progressives do ... eventually ruin/poison everything for everyone.

This is my wife and mother-in-law take as well. My MIL who was and is a strikingly beautiful woman was thrust into positions in state level government where she had to deal with handsey bosses and she set them straight without going the sexual harassment route, except for one case. One supervisor was drunk on power and thought that basic rules didn’t apply to him and she eventually had to file a formal complaint after trying the usual methods of dealing with improper behavior. It ended the behavior, she sought no punishment, just behave like a gentleman and she encountered bad behavior again from others but handled it without the formal complaint. She always dresses appropriately and never let her female employees dress suggestively.

My wife followed her example in the workplace and same as her Mom encountered some harassment, comments about their anatomy and dress even thought it was conservative and she did as her Mom and handled it without the formal complaint route. Both hate the way these idiotic feminist have behaved and complain that many talented women are going to not be given a chance simply because men and these companies just will not want to take the chance of something simple being said or done and some snowflake woman blow the place up with stupidity.

I also worked in a male dominated industry.(30 + years). Had similar experiences as you did too. Some of the conversations we had are too politically incorrect in today’s environment. I had very good male friends at work. We had good natured banter about the opposite sex and the levels of stupidity that each one displayed...usually the spark was a news headline like some guy robbed while being tied up during a romantic rendezvous ...etc..

Here is a video that we all howled over when we discovered it! Enjoy!

Women know your limits!

I always let my natural sweetness shine through! /s
