It's a Female Thing

This kind of thing doesn't happen with men.

Totally not following the conversation excerpt, but I get the gist (I think). Very surprised, though, that you have a Wacky WIW in your office?

Jen, honey, could it be that you're a little overly sensitive right now? I mean, you're leaving there and anxious to get out, and anything that happens will be blown up in your mind more than intended, kind of a natural reaction to wanting to make that permanent separation?

I do know how you feel about stupid people's comments to single females. I used to be single, yeah I was. And back in those days, it was a VERY sexist society. I always got, "Why should we hire you; after all, you're single and you'll get married on us and leave." (Explanation: back then, married women were not supposed to work; they were meant to stay at home and serve their husbands -- believe it or not.)

Then, when I DID get married, it was, "Why should we hire you? You'll just get pregnant and leave."

Wait -- it gets better!

When you turn 50, you don't even get in the door!

Next life, I'm comin' back as a male.
