Women in the Locker Room

[BadgeBunny]

BB,

I'm halfway with you. I have worked in manufacturing, overseeing the production of DOD parts, oil field, and air craft. I was usually the only woman in the entire place. There were "sexist" comments made frequently, in which I fired right back at. They stopped ... well saying it to my face anyways. When you go into male dominated areas, expect the boys club mentality.
However, how a woman chooses to dress is her prerogative, she should be free to dress however she sees fit without backlash.
And come on, you know the "entitlement" attitude isn't gender blind. No one is entitled to not be offended. They were just words, if they had gotten handsy, it would be a different story.
I'd have fought fire with fire, "You might want to shower with warmer water darlin, you're ruining the Jet's image."

Maybe it was my upbringing, but I prefer the company of even the most blue-collar white trash fellas to a bunch of women. I was never NOT treated like an equal. I kinda prefer the "boys club mentality" as guys are a lot more honest in the end than 99.9% of the women out there.

You can be part of the team and enjoy yourself and get your work done or you can be tolerated and talked about behind your back. We spend a lot more time at work than anyother place in our adult lives. I much prefer being part of the team.

The entitlement mentality might not be gender blind but I have met a LOT more women with that "affliction" than I have men.

She's kinda hot, but not what I expect from Beck's reaction the other day. Unless y'all have pics I don't.

If you follow the link and watch the video, you'll see that she just loves to attract attention.
It might be nothing more than a publicity stunt. In her business being well known can provide opportunities.

She was saying earlier that it wasnt any big deal about what went on in the locker room. The rest of the media was raising the stink. I guess she is finding a way to get some attention.

If were talking about equality here, when do the male reporters get to interview female athlete's in the women's locker room?

And therein lies the problem. A bunch of guys are gonna have to sit through sensitivity training because she is an attention whore.

Princess syndrome comes to mind ... create a ruckus and then bat your eyelashes, tilt your head "just so" and in your sweetest, most demure voice say "I certainly don't know what all the fuss is about ..."

I am so glad my dad taught me to use my brains cuz I got boobs too and I am here to tell you that when she gets to be my age hers will be looking at the floor too! Gravity is not kind to us curvy gals!

Just took me a couple seconds to roll my eyes on this one. She doesn't seem to be that bright. Not to mention I was waiting for her top to pop open the whole video.

For the record, the saying it behind my back comment was meant partly in jest. My guys probably did talk about me behind my back when I first started, but with time they respected me and worked very well with me. In fact, they ran off shop managers after I moved onto general manager, to the point that I retained oversight of the shop without anyone else managing.
And we'll have to agree to disagree about the ratio of men and women feeling entitled. I've met just as many male divas as I have females.
