Ignorant male coworkers

I do think, tho, that we should also remember that the "context" here is somewhat intermingled. While I could see the point about the context of the thread, I couldn't help but notice that my reply was made from the context of my living room, in my shorts, on my computer. I guess I forgot for a moment that everyone else was here WITH me!

HOBO!!! :shock:
MY GOD MAN ...now I am offended...

MY EYES....MY EYES!!!

Thanks Hog for trying to lighten this up, It's not heavy tho. I understand our frienship is in its begining phases and I'm sorry that I stepped on your toes in regard to your friend Hobo. I think Hobo understands why I found offence to the nature of his coments. Others might not understand, but Hobo does. In hind sight I should have P.M.ed him and nobody else would've got involved. But well Hobo, enjoys conterversy, argueing, and I was tired at the time... So I posted my thoughts. I was raised by a chauvinist father whom I love to this day. But I was also raised to protect my sisters from chauvinists... Times were changeing. And well, Hobo is the last guy on this board that I thought would miss the "context" of this thread... I said, "anywhere else on this board fair game"... Or other posters... But, apperently I held Hobo to a higher standard... I don't think he wants me to appoligize for that. In my opinion the older girls had to fight there way to where they are now, and the ones who have followed in there footsteps... should have a great apreciation for that, a respect for them, as I have. Now lighten already

Hobo: I did see your comment ... BUT I spend my whole week on the road working. Up in the NORTH...WAY north there is no place to check internet stuff & only post &/or read when I am at home, so it usually takes me a few days to catch up, as I have a family, home, etc.

I took no offense to your comments, but was rather suprised at the comments that followed. I often deal with men & women who can't deal with the fact that I drive a truck, & especially since I OWN my truck it's even worse. Often when I arrive I get asked where is your partner? My granddaugther gave me a LONG legged teddy bear for company, so I go get it & introduce him as my *partner*! It's usually good for a laugh!
