Sat in a coffee shop waiting to meet a colleague just now
2 men at an adjoining table talking about going away on a golfing weekend
Man A asked man B if his wife was ok with being left at home (again) presumably looking after their DC, costs of said weekend were also mentioned
The reply was basically a politer version of that she should put up, shut up and put out
It wasn’t particularly what was said it was the impression that she was viewed as a commodity, he even talked about her smoking and drinking habits like he was commenting on an employees failings
Up to that point he had come across like Mr average respectable business man
Thankfully they left as I was very tempted to comment in some way (I’m old enough these days not to care about what response I would get - and am known for being fairly bold how)
It was just the everyday acceptance of the gulf between the sexes that hit me
Hope his wife is ok
