I'm at work and just finished a conference call amongst a small team. There are 4 of us, 3 of us all the same level, then our manager. I am the only female. These calls are relatively informal.
We were discussing the best way to do things and when making my point I am told to 'calm down'. It was meant in a jokey way, but I feel patronised. For the record I was already calm! Neither of the others were told to 'calm down' when making points. In the end my manager agreed with me so it was a valid point.
I feel it is a bit sexist, and am temped to bring it up with him. Not to accuse him of being sexist, but just to point out why I found it offensive?
Should I? Or should I just let it go? Was this even sexist?
