Hmmm.
If any of her sexist male coworkers made jokes about "kitchen and stuff" in my office, I'd fire them on the spot for cause and take pains to make sure other organizations knew in detail about their behavior.
If you accused a victim of sexual harassment of "whining" in my office like you just did here on HN, I'd fire you on the spot and make sure other organizations knew in detail about your behavior.
Guess then we'd be sure that both you and they would have shut up about "kitchen and stuff" in the work environment, eh?
How about instead of being sexist, we men just do the right thing.

Comments about "staying in the kitchen" or talking about a co-worker's breasts (which is what the "low-cut dress" comment is really about) will get you fired on the spot in many or most jobs in America. And it also happens to be the correct response.
- hnal943 15y agoI agree with you. And since this is the case, it's amazing to me that the OP didn't simply find another job where people would treat her with civility. Anyone can wind up working with jerks. Most of us don't blame the system and quit being productive.
