“I’m a lot taller when I stand on my wallet.”
As my friend says “of course they push your buttons! They PUT them there!”
Holy. Shit.
This was a loooooong time ago. The man who said it was the CEO of a large manufacturing corporation, and a Big Swinging Dick (in all senses of the word). Try to imagine a time when not only would a man say such a thing, but every single woman in the office (but me) would have agreed with him.
1981 (I’m an Old). You make a good point: office manners and mores then were MUCH closer to Mad Men than they are to today.
It was definitely easier to make an exit after that comment. Also: difficult to contain The Giggles until I was out in the parking lot.
I was 21, and had been working there for a few semesters as a paid intern (and a damn good one). It was a steel company, VERY old-boy. To give them credit, when the job for which I left turned out to have a weird schedule, I called them and they let me come back, no questions asked, part time and set my own hours, so…
Nope, 1981 (I’m an Old). That’s why, when I see some of the spew heaped on whatever previous wave feminists here (some of it, admittedly, deserved), I’m like, You. Have. No. Idea. Great comment about the arm garters, though — it does feel that far back.
“But I’m offering you such a great salary... for a girl.”
That thing where you find out something not just super cool but necessary, in the most unlikely place.
And I hope the dialogue continues to push against bullshit and lies.
Or the Hebrides. Srsly expected a flock of sheep to come over the hill baa baa baa. Or maybe Drogon barbecued and ate them all.
An Oberyn-style squishing for her would be pleasing, indeed.
Maybe she’s in the Nun Softball League, and The Bell was also a shit-swatter. If so, +1 for multi-tasking, but I still hate her goddamn CONFESS face.
Drogo is all “I need an asssssspirin mommy I can’t go to school today” and the circling horses looked menacing.
In a show replete with hateful characters, she really loaded a lot of loathsome into a small part. That little smug smile while she was ringing the bell and saying “Shame...shame.” I was hoping some of the rotten shit would miss Cersei and smack her in her zealot mug.
Well... I’d like her to gather up the Stabby McStabber group, give them THE LOOK and intone “the night is dark and full of terror.”
