gender bias

Gender bias and sex discrimination is so weird to me. I mean, I'm so surprised that there is still so much of that going on! Really? In 2016? I know I tend to be kind of naive about those types of things. I'm always surprised when people turn an issue into something race related when, in my opinion, it doesn't need to be. Oh, but I digress, I was talking about gender...so, I read an article this morning about mean tweets from men, directed at women. Honestly, it was shocking. You can view it here;

It's ugly, really ugly.

Now, on lighter, albeit similar train of thought, it's hard to work for a whole group of women. I hate to say that, because I AM one, but dang. A whole group of women are moody and lack focus and absolutely try too hard. There really needs to be at least one man in the mix. But in the same vein, it stinks to work for a whole group of men too. They lack empathy and don't really care about personalities, in general. For instance, today is Secretary's Day (call it what you want) and not ONE single boss, of which there are 5, even acknowledged my co-worker or myself. 

Just let me say, as a woman, I want the same pay for doing the same job; I want to be treated with respect; I want my opinion to count; I want to be protected; you know, I want the same things every human being wants. Is that so hard? 

Last, and just because I'm talking about gender bias, I want people to stop acting like the transgender "community" consists of something more than .5% of the population!!!! Good grief! I would be willing to bet, and maybe this is just my naivete showing, that using the restroom was never as big a deal as it is now! I suspect that most transgender people have used the restroom they wanted without much ado, until now.
