You know, folks...
Years ago, I used to go rabbit hunting with a beagle. If the dog was a female, she would spend all her time hunting. If the dog was a male, he would only spend half his time hunting, the other half looking for a place to put it... Even a knot-hole in an old pine stump. And, checking scent markings in the grass to see if there was any hope for some extra action.
While driving a truck with the CB on, the women hear things they don't ordinarily hear. But, if they had bionic ears and could hear things said in offices, in factories, and other places... Even restaurants... The comments by men don't seem to change. Even those that say nothing have thoughts. Looking at the whole animal kingdom, human males are not the only ones that have those thoughts. The dog that rides with me in my truck doesn't drain his bladder until he's checked out all the places where all the female dogs have drained their kidneys. (He's an optimist... Even if the female is more than a hundred miles away by then, he still seems to think there's hope for him to...) It seems to be the nature of the industry that women get to hear things that men normally keep to, or between themselves, because the men don't seem to realize that anyone can hear what they say on the CB, or they know full well that they can not be identified by voice on the CB. We also seem to have more of the "uncooth" ones that volunteer to show a dog how to water the grass directly in front of a restaurant window. They really don't care what you think of them or their comments. And, why do they keep it up??? Just like my dog that checks out the grass before he leaves his own scent... Hope. And, from what I understand, once in a while, one or two of them actually does get lucky.
I'm sorry, Roses, but I doubt you'll be effective in any industry, much less trucking, in trying to stop men from what seems to come natually. There was one country I was in, in the Navy, where it was a compliment to a girl if you told her that her mother must have had a "beautiful pubic area". Customs and preceptions change with culture, but men's thoughts do not.
Yes, I do understand that it is not the nature of men that is the problem. It is the way they express that nature, and your preception of it. It takes all kind to make up a world, and just like women, we men do not wear tags saying "I'M A GOOD GUY" or "AVOID ME". For that matter, who among us would believe those tags anyhow?
