*kicks him for you*

See, it's okay to make fun of women. We're not really people. :P

Doesn't the military have rules against that sort of thing? (Sounds like the sort of thing the press would have a field day with, too.)

The military does, yes, and if this bugger was military I'd have started a counseling chit on the incident already, superior or no, and gone straight to the division officer with it if necessary. But he's a civilian, contracted to work with us; not in my chain of command. Only the commander of our training unit has the ability to reprimand a civilian working with us. If I wanted to raise enough hell to take the matter all the way up, the skipper could reprimand him, but since he pseudo-apologized, the skipper would say 'case closed'... and I'd be labeled as a trouble-maker. I don't need complications when I'm this close to retirement.

This asshole seems to have tunnel vision. *joins Mtgat in kicking him* Actually guys like that don't need to reproduce. *kicks him down there*

Thanks for your support; it does help to know that not all men have bought into the misogynistic mindset our culture encourages.

The guy's a blockhead. If it were me, I'd just note that and move on. There's zero use getting your blood pressure up over stuff like this.

Copy it and send it to HR. Wait, you're Navy? What the fuck, does he not know about EO?

kimberly_t October 11 2006, 18:56:49 UTC

I was so pissed off I deleted the email, then cleared my deleted box, because I wanted that thing GONE. Thought too late about documenting evidence, dammit.

Yeah, and this guy's actually a retired master chief, so he should damn well know about EO! But back when he was enlisted, EO for women meant just not groping them.

Have somebody forward it to you. At least keep all your correspondance with the guy. Don't let the guy whine about his age or his era. He's a big boy. He needs to ask like ti.
