There are Norwegian assholes, and (insert country here)assholes. I get talked down to constantly in my line of work, also from women. <br /><br />You tell them how it really is. I confront those bastards every day, and they're all 'now, now, little girl'. Then the paper comes out, and they're scared, shitless.MissBucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251148610851347199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-79869250982672246012009-09-25T19:00:30.413+02:002009-09-25T19:00:30.413+02:00I'm really shocked at this.

It's very frustrating sometimes, and I have a lot of respect for any woman who has to work closely with men in a field like yours or mine. I'm just a lowly person here, so I don't get bombarded with the politics, but some of my friends are in positions where they do, and I really admire their (and your) strength. Keep standing up for what you believe in! You may not be able to teach ALL of the old dogs new tricks, but I bet some of them might stop and think about what they're doing.Fidgeting Gidgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903926675948152931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-40075160533834830022009-09-25T11:26:46.276+02:002009-09-25T11:26:46.276+02:00That's Norway.

We weren't talking about penile disfunction, we were talking about software for doctor's offices, which I specialized in.<br /><br />I bit my tongue and closed the deal.<br /><br />And then I screamed.<br /><br />Ugh.
