That statement is just as true the other way around. [img]smile.gif[/img]

We all tolerate much that we'd rather not... for the sake of our families or our future we put up with all kinds of BS at work and school. Our young college men are assaulted with constant anti-male propeganda, quite often government financed and propegated by teachers who are in a position to ruin their lives. Women Studies "programs" teach hate of all things male on one hand while creating "anti-hate" Speach Codes that eliminate the opportunity for rebuttal on the other.
Belle I think we all knew what you meant... and I think most of us have had bad managers at one time or another, it can make you want to scream. The thing to keep in mind regarding sexism in the workplace is that as more women occupy positions of authority we're getting more complaints about some of them being just as sexist as the sexist guys out there. IMO some people have no business being in positions of authority, be they male or female. When I was in highschool I was propositioned by two older women that were in positions of authority over me... but of course guys have been trained to think of that as flattering instead of threatening so I never thought anything of it (even though in both cases it'd have been rape by todays standards if I'd have complied).
It's sad to say but I tend to think it's human nature for those in power to exploit those without it... men or women.
