I work for a big utility company in a technical position, and I am one of 6 women in a group of over 30 people. The majority of the company’s 23,000 employees are male, and the overwhelming majority of women in the company work in administrative support, clerical, or other non-technical roles. The culture can be…

The first example to come to mind:

I edit a beer magazine so me and the SO go to beer bars and breweries quite a lot. Every single time the bartender will strike the conversation up with my SO about beer styles, trends, etc. and he’ll have to gesture over to me with while saying “I dunno, I don’t know much about beer. She’s the editor of xxyy magazine.…

So since 2008, they’ve put exactly two women who are pro golfers on the cover of their magazine, one of them in only a towel? Yeesh.

bless your heart

It's like Munch being Munch on all the police shows.

I worked in restaurants all throughout my 20's. Sexual harassment is a part of the job, so much so that, as both CA Pinkham and the woman in this story say, you just grow accustomed to it being a part of the job, ESPECIALLY from the kitchen staff. I have this strange feeling even typing this, that just acknowledging…

I'm doing an Alice in Wonderland wedding on Halloween and my dress is this amazing light blue drop waist gown (I'm short) and I got these shoes to go with it. (Irregular Choice)

That lip color is gorgeous on you! I have a weird complexion that's too cool for warm tones and too warm for cool tones but I am so hoping I can try that lipstick out and look that good in it too.

Definitely what besties are for.

I went barefoot and wore one of these: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HappiFeet…

Now I'm starting to think that the author didn't know that Val was married to Eddie. I mean ... that's the whole joke. Eric Stonestreet tells "some lady" to get out of the way. She turns around and it's the ex-wife of Van Halen's legendary guitarist, and mother of its current bassist. That's why it's funny!

evidently, that person doesn't have the spirit of the Boss within. You didn't stop, right?

I made my own wedding dress... but I didn't know it was a wedding dress, so I didn't put as much effort into it as I could have. My boyfriend was taking me on vacation in Hawaii, and he talked me into making a "pretty dress for when we went to the luau." Turns out, he'd been planning to ask me to marry him the whole…

Thankfully this was *before* I got ready, but it was humiliating. I was a ball of nerves on my wedding day (aren't we all?) and had only coffee in my system during my hair appointment. One of my bridesmaids drove with me to my parents' house where I was getting ready, and I let one slip. Only it wasn't just a cute…

Yup, sure did. I had a dress that I only had tried on once in the store before the big day. Two weeks before, went bra/spanx shopping with mom. We glance at slips. "Do you need a slip?" "I'unno." (I don't do dresses normally. I'm a web developer and pretty much rock the T-shirt/jeans developer look.)

So yes, I put this…

My wedding dress had very thin little straps on the shoulders. While greeting guests in the receiving line, I went to give an old friend a hug and felt something snap. I looked down and my strap had broken off and I was about a second away from a nip slip. Thankfully I noticed it immediately and was able to hold my…

Not even terrible but (entire story NSFW)......Two days before my wedding, I got my period. My period is usually fairly well behaved- first day heavy, tapers off fairly quickly, lasts about 4 days total, move on with life. Not this time. We arrived in Vegas (Vegas wedding for the win) and had sex which made our hotel…
