I'll start with a few:
"How did you learn to do all this?!"
“It’s not ‘P.C.’ to say this, but…”
“Wow, you’re pretty strong!”
“You know about making coffee, right?”
“It doesn’t have all the features; this is the soccer mom version.”
“Let me know when you want to do that so I can help you. No offense, but you just don’t know enough about it to try it on your own.”
“See, that’s the great thing about you, I know I can tell ‘offensive’ jokes around you and you won’t care.”
I'm not really sure about the context she was told these things in, and perhaps they were said to her in a tone that was dripping with condescension, but most of these seem like fairly gender-neutral things to say. But it all depends on the tone, and I imagine since she wrote this article that she perceived the tone to patronizing because of her gender.
- mreiland 12y agoI personally think men should get angry and offended when people talk about your 'John Hancock'. How dare they use a male name to describe a signature. We can lump it together with the idea behind the term 'soccer mom' and go all SJW on their asses.
