Necrotic Obsession

@Milky: There's not a particular firm he had, or I have, in mind; we both still have yet to even enter law school. We had an actual fight about the suicide thing, and from there, he advised me that my womanhood should preclude me from what he deems man-only qualities when I am an attorney. For instance, if there were ever a situation in which a male attorney said something that was not only dumb, but offensive, such as "A suicide attempt is indicative of weakness and stupidity" to me, I should not dare disagree because ... well, ladies are to be seen and never heard, and because I shouldn't dare challenge a man.
If a law firm promoted that sort of arrangement, I probably would not work at said firm. I understand wanting to maintain professionalism; that should be maintained at all times. However, there's a difference between telling me to "simmer down" because I should be professional, and telling me the same thing because I am a woman. I could and would not work in such an atmosphere.

@InfiniteChaos: Are you saying that the ex-SO's advice is wise, or Milky's is wise? I think I know, but I don't want to ascribe the wrong position to you. Sorry that I misunderstood.

@Strangeguy: I agree. Note that the key word here is "everyone." If this were his advice, I doubt I would have argued with him.

@Red: Whatever happened to ambiguous trolling?

@Pariah: I intend to be the best. And even if I am not, I would never stand for someone prescribing gender roles, at home or otherwise. Now ...on to the more substantial part of your post... if you admit that I'm right ALWAYS just because I is woman, I'll send naked pics.

your always right about anything ;) no joke..!!

No, i actually think that.

Just feel out your surroundings before assuming any position. *its an oh duh statement* :p

Why are you ranting on the computer and not in the kitchen making me a sandwich...?



/ducks

she might make you a rant sandwich, well my unneeded opinion on this already spread topic is what someone previously posted but i was to lazy to quote about it beings an old boys club and someone said something about shaping yup just to play the game or something then the guy with the face you know who i mean said the thing with the words about acting and so forth. but ya do what you want ohh and if this pricks your on and off keep him off till he learns how to properly phrase his advice.

Wutchu say, Vodray? YOU get in the kitchen and make ME a sandwich.

He is officially and permanently "off," Norrel, sooooo hopefully, I'll never have to hear such nonsense again.

And thanks InfiniteChaos; you are teh awesome, of course.

All of you are awesome (save Red)

im still not seeing bewbs in my inbox lady !!

My advice is to get rid of this person from your life.

Why even bother the time to amuse him with a reaction?

well the issue when dealing with general public and other professions like law, is that a persons perception of a person can be a deciding factor in a decision. so if any person is out of the stereo-typical "norms" then that has a huge potential of swaying a persons vote, usually not in a good way.

all we can do for now is play the silly game and suck it up...make our change as time goes by, we gain a name, and hope that our grand kids have it better. this is coming from someone that has to play it too and i scratch tooth and nail the whole way...
