“Let a man handle it.” A man is supposed to bring in the bread, work hard for that even. If a woman does the same work she is told that she is doing it only for the “sake of working”. Men are here to make a career, women are too busy frolicking between loo breaks and gossip sessions. They don’t belong in an office. For them, work is the quickest way to earn those extra bucks for buying expensive shoes. And then there are stereotypes of that “this is a man’s job” because surely a woman can’t handle a hardware job, or handle a straight out tech position or worse, if she dares to dream of a leadership position, what nonsense are you saying! “Find a husband to settle down with and have children to relieve… work-related stress.”
“Find a husband to settle down with and have children to relieve… work-related stress.”
Are your nostrils flaring as you read this? Do you find it as outrageous? Of course, it is, but it is not as outrageous as the constant need for a boss or manager figure who feels it is important to show a woman “her place” in the pyramid of hierarchy. Because how can “she” answer back or worse how can she have an “opinion”?! Dear Lord, what has the world come to.
