Well put.
Well put.
FOOFY! Even your comments are always shower-fresh!
“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.
Yes - her Resting Bitch Face hitting the stones.
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.
