I wouldnt want to build an expectation that all women have to put with this though. That is what would happen if I tough it out, when somebody is being sexist, rather than pushing for a rule to be made against it, to protect women.
I don't want to be protected. That implies that I'm not capable of protecting myself. Thanks, but that just implies that I'm a victim. I just want the opportunity to show that I can do the job. If doing the job means fitting into the culture that exists on that job, I'll find a way to manage that.
The last thing I want is outside interference. I just want to be allowed to handle my business for myself.
NO offense, Mellie, but I work with cops for a living. If you can't handle the culture on the job, you sure as hell aren't going to be able to handle the perpetrators.
