Sexism - in action

[Mich the Tester]

The dresses are generally called "tunics" you either have decent legs and wear them with thick tights, or if not wear them with leggings.

Either way they are suppose to cover you up decently.

Either way they look crap, and you can cover up decently without resorting to that kind of measure.

Or fancies her. ...

which could quite easily imply "insincere flatterer" if he is desperate for something to say

Ask him in a meeting to borrow that pencil in his pocket and then feign a blush and say 'oh sorry, it isn't a pencil is it'

Joking aside, I don't think playing guys with this attitude is a good idea. If their poor attitude is so ingrained and you cease to become a point of affection and may start to put you down, make sexist derogatory remarks or just go out of his way to make it hard for you by missing you of mails, etc wanting you to fall over i.e. go on the attack.

It does sound to me that this is a subconscious attitude so even a word with him isn't going to suffice. Being a bloke it is hard to understand the situation but I would certainly be storing up evidence, witness's and situations ready to unleash a world of problems on him should he step over the line. As we have seen in another post about a contractor getting binned recently it may backfire though. Get rid of the contractor makes the problem go away for awhile.

Could a couple of sarcastic 'sweets' added to the end of sentence subtly highlight your displeasure at the term or something?

Very unfortunate situation. Where is the knuckle cracking weird guy when you want him hey

darn - round here you have to have tree trunk legs and be called Sandra or Tracey but addressed as San or Trace, badly fitting thongs underneath are derigeur.

Have to agree with this. Public put-downs and the like could lead to you being made out to be the bad guy.
Totally wrong I know, as you are indeed suffering his comments in public, but you do run the risk of being binned.

Shorter ones can look good over a shapely bottom. But then most things look good over a shapely bottom

I think that applies to Dutch women's fashion in general, I'm still wondering when they'll catch up with the rest of Europe.

If you want decent clothes, you have to shop anywhere else but cloggers, seriously!
