If you've been told you can't have the promotion because a man has a family to worry about.

Yeah, as if a single mom doesn't have a family to worry about, too. Been there.

In response to GrannyScrewsTheNews.
Been there. The coworker who got promoted had 3 years less seniority (and was incompetent), but "he has to provide for a family."
I remember looking at my boss and saying, "You know I'm the sole provider for three kids, right?"
"Well, it's different...."
Because he has a penis. Got it, dude.

Some of my most embarrassing interactions are when a random male would tell me to smile. As I got older it just made me angry, but never realized what was happening until now!

Where to begin…
If the car salesman asks where my husband is so he can negotiate the sale of my vehicle.
When your all male supervisor team touch you every time they walk past..
When the FEMALE union rep says “that’s just the way it is” about touching and I should “grow a set”.

In the 80s we were at a biz event of husband. A board member came over, started small talk with me. Then he said when can we meet for drinks. I said I don't do that as I'm married. He said if I don't than my husband may not have a job.

One time when we were car shopping, the salesman, after learning we were looking for a car for Jen, reached past her to shake my hand and start talking. He did not make the sale

In response to Derek Croucher.
Same happened to us. Salesman asked which one of us was the one he needed to talk to. Hubby told him it was me and excused himself to use the restroom. I started to ask the salesman about the car and he said, "I'll wait for your husband," to which I replied, "You just lost this sale," We walked out.

In 7th grade, we signed up for electives. I signed up for chemistry because duh, it's cool. I ended up in "Image of Loveliness," which taught girls how to put on makeup. My mom complained (thanks mom!), and I ended up in chemistry class. All boys. Same comment. Still not great with makeup. 🤷♀️

My older sister, whenever asked when she was asked when she was going to get married, responded with: The 1st or the 2nd, the first chance I get or the second I have to. That usually sent a nosey/rude questioner scurrying away. 😄
