What do people think about sexist comments in the workplace, or generally?
I work in a very male orientated workplace and am currently working in a small team of just men.
I find it frustrating that they are often making sexist 'jokes' or remarks
Little things like how women should 'be in the kitchen' or are 'better at cleaning' or how we should wear heels all the time.
But, any other prejidism (can't spell) aside from sexism, and these comments would be unacceptable.
If we said to an individual of a different race that they would be better at cleaning or fighting or whatever, people would be shocked and I would probably get called into a meeting (which I agree with)
If we said to an individual a remark about there mental/physical health differences to ours, we would be called up on it (which I again agree with).
Yet, when comments about females are made no one seems bothered. But I am. Does anyone else feel this way? Is it OK to make sexist remarks to someone?
