  Sad to say, but that’s a familiar story.

  It’s great that you’re now making efforts to right that sort of wrong now!

  Please give her a hug from me. And if you happen to get a chance to stab her supervisor … well, I’ll not say do it, because that would be illegal. But sometimes accidents happen …

  Yeah, that’s the thing, the majority if guys are OK or better … it’s just there’s enough arseholes to hold women and minorities back when there’s no or unenforced DEI

  It’s very hard to not be polite when that’s how you’re raised to be from day one :-/

  They break up a lot quicker if you run over them with a mower, which can also spread out the bits leaving a tidier looking lawn, thus keeping the HOA happy (maybe)

  Yuuup. Woman in engineering here. I once had a supervisor whose behaviour I thought of as normal, but two guys I worked with separately reported him to HR for bullying after seeing how he treated me.

  It’s funny, I had many years with almost no career progression, now my boss is a woman and I’m having to get used to the idea that bonuses and promotions are things that actually happen when I work hard.

  I had that with a contractor who had had my number for work purposes. He kept trying for 5 years.

  I’m a butch lesbian, my mistake was being polite and chatty with him.

  Extra comment - Beyond Thunderdome being a mess makes a lot more sense when you know what happened to George Miller during it’s production.

  In MM1 there’s a breakdown in the rule of law, areas of the country aren’t safe to travel in, police pursuits have little regard for public safety, a computer is used to make command decisions, and most people are only out for themselves … I can understand why an American in 2025 might feel that that isn’t apocalyptic in feel, because to them it’s just normal life.

  George Lucas only directed the first Star Wars movie, from then on he was a writer & producer
