so, how'd that feel?

I seriously doubt that there isn't a woman in the world who hasn't been spoken down to by some male who thinks that, just because he is male, that he is better and smarter than you are. Doesn't matter how capable and knowledgeable you are, walk into any Home Depot or Pep Boys, look at tools, and suddenly there is man there ready to help the stupid women pick out the right item for her husband. That just ticks, nay, pisses me off to no end. I had a car salesman show me how to properly open and close the trunk of a car so as not to "break a nail", and, while checking the oil in my car, a man ask me if I knew how and where to put the dipstick back properly. I almost showed him where I thought it should go...

Why doth I vent on this a touch? Simple. My husband had it happen to him hehee. Here is what occurred...

Last Saturday, my husband and I went out to have some dinner and maybe a movie. Things didn't go as we had hoped, so after we grabbed a bite to eat, we went to Jo-Anns Etc. so I could get some felting yarn, and Don wanted to look for some princess fabric to make Nana some curtains for her room. My hubs is very very good at the sewing machine, and can make some dang good window coverings. Fifteen minutes later, we met up again to check out, and he had this odd smile on his face. He looked at me and said, "Now I know how you must feel." I asked him what in the world he was talking about. Don, after finding the perfect princess fabric for the aforementioned curtains, took the bolt over to one of the women to have it cut. He told her how much he wanted, and she cut it...not big deal. Then she looked and him and said, "Do you need any new sewing needles or thread?", to which he replied, "No, thank you." She starts to fold up the cloth, and while doing so, says, and this is where you have to laugh, "Well, if your wife didn't tell you to pick up any, then you probably don't." She talked down to my 6'4 husband as if she were a grease monkey at a garage. If you are a woman, you have got to love that!!!

So, see ladies, there is equality in the world. A small win. I'm just saying...

Too funny! At work, there is this one guy that will ignore myself and my female co-worker and only talk to our supervisor ~ a male of course. I can't wait for the day when our supervisor is not around and he needs a question answered! Bwahahahaha, I will have fun that day. :)
