I had a conversation with one of the folks at work that I don’t know very
well that bothered me a lot.
We were discussing how something had not been done right. The person who
didn’t do it right is a woman who has been with us quite a while, but
normally does very good work and lots of people depend on her.

“I bet you just wanted to smack her,” this guy said.
I paused for a second to make sure I had not misheard.
“No,” I said. “I didn’t.”

That really bothered me. A lot.
That’s he’d think that would be OK. And, that he’d think I’d be OK with it
too.

This isn’t a guy I’ve worked with much and he has not been making a good
impression on me.

Maybe he meant it as a joke. People do joke about that sort of thing.
But, the way he said it didn’t seem like a joke.
And even so, not a joke I like.

I mostly wrote this to keep a record in case it is a trend.

I don't blame you for being bothered by that. One, if this woman usually does well, I would wonder more what is up with her? That the idea of smacking her came so casually to this guy, and without the tone of jest would concern me too.

So, not as long ago as I thought. November. I thought it was earlier than that.
But, it doesn't really matter...

Hopefully not a trend.

From this morning's Facebook articles from a friend of mine...

Some men are just brought up to disrespect women. And it's a damn shame. Because it's so hard to break them of the habit once it gets ingrained. =(

I've got no problem with everyone knowing I don't like this stuff...
