[QUOTE="soberups, post: 574179, member: 14668"] What a cowardly, chauvanistic attitude on his part...to imply that your posession of a uterus requires you to be "protected" from language that would be otherwise unoffensive to someone who lacks said uterus. We had a guy with an obnoxious potty mouth once who constantly made offensive, sexual comments. One of our women drivers finally called him out on it...right in front of a bunch of guys. She got into his face and told him in a loud, clear voice that he made his stupid jokes because he obviously want getting laid, that he must have a tiny di%$ to be compensating for thru his vulgar humour, and that he needed to grow up and knock it off because she was getting sick of it. She tore him a new one, embarassed him in front of everyone, and put him in his place. She [I]didnt[/I] play the victim card or hide behind some corporate PC rule...she took the guy on man to man and verbally [I]kicked his ass[/I]. She was 100% in the right, and by handling it [I]herself[/I] she earned the respect of all the men there and got the loudmouth to shut his trap for good. I will admit that in my past I too had some chauvanistic tendencies due to my upbringing, and this incident was a real eye-opener for me personally and forced me to reevaluate my own flawed behaviors and attitudes towards women. That woman did more to straighten out my own wrong thinking than any corporate PC "language police" policy ever would have. [/QUOTE]
