WIBU to punch this idiot in the nuts?

Last week, I hosted a conference call in lieu of my manager who was off sick. There were five people on the call, me, two other women and two men. The two men are proposing that we bring in a new process which basically replicates an existing one, without adding anything worth anything. Discussing this with my managers, they agree that it's a rubbish idea. On the call, the two other women and I explained why it was a bad idea, giving many examples and explaining everything in detail, suggesting he speak to the parties directly affected who I know would object.

First guy on the call then sends an email to my manager going (exact words) "I think the three ladies just don't want to do any work"

WIBU to kick/punch him in the nuts?

Twat. I expect it was a man who reinvented the wheel.

YABU! It is his opinion.

Nah - he's already kicked himself in the nuts, in front of his boss.

ExitPursuedByALamb · 06/04/2011 16:42

Err - I would be really offended by his remark. Vair sexist.

sickoftheholidays · 06/04/2011 16:43

sounds like a sexist tosser to me.
Yanbu to want to kick him in the nadgers but YWBU to risk your job over such a twunt.

Surely your boss will think that the 'three ladies' are talking sense, and that twat features is, well, a twat?

AbsDuCroissant · 06/04/2011 16:46

Boss (male) showed it to me with a shocked face.

It would be nice, but sadly the twat is in another country and my legs aren't that long.

Didn't have time to finish my post OP

it is his opin ion - he has slagged you off - doesn't look good to the boss - the author of the email is not the one with the power. Chill - he has given a bad impression of himself. You will be ok!

YABU. If target area is the nuts, you should kick. Not punch.

OTheHugeManatee · 08/04/2011 17:44

A sharp knee to the groin, yes. YANBU in the slightest.
