How fucked up is this?
Aug. 7th, 2007 03:38 pmI could have this completely wrong and misunderstood, but the impression mom gave me during our little chat last night after I got home is this: that because he's giving us (mostly her) money, Dad thinks that she should put out.
Again, I could have it completely wrong. But I don't think I do. It sickens me, it really does.
Something else that sickens me is the sexist attitude of the guys at work. The dock supervisor seems to think that because I cuss, I'm trying to act like "one of the guys." And since I'm "acting like one of the guys", they're going to treat me like one of the guys.
Excuse me, but since when did swearing become exclusive to men? Yeah, I may occasionally have a mouth like a truck driver, but that does not mean that I'm trying to be "one of the guys." What it means, to me, is that I sometimes use colorful language to express myself when I feel the need. Some people think I do this a lot. Not so. In fact, most of it is done under my breath. Bemoaning the fact that I work with a bunch of ignorant, bigoted, sexist pigs, more often than not. Or if I screw something up, and have to backtrack to fix it.
*shakes head* Not like I go around telling people that they are ignorant assholes. (which I would love to tell some of them, but I keep my mouth shut) I can leave that up to the dock supervisor, since he probably tells the dock guys that fifty times a night.
