one more thing... these females he works with are not the profile mentioned above.

they are not going to do anything beyond their own tasks at work, also they are known to be sexually vocal during work hours not caring who is listening to their conversations.

Thanks Valerie, (didn't know if this was an active site or not)

where he is speaking about "the ladies" is in a medical office... so you either have "techs", "billing" or "front desk"....

if their was one GUY tech in the group it would change the dialog and he would be referring to them as, "techs" .... cos' he's not gonna say, "the ladies & the guy", or "the ladies & the tech"....

so, just adding one more individual to the group of a different gender changes his perspective to make it more professional sounding (and off the gender only implication)

just having one addition- being male -to the group- makes this more professional in his thinking because of course a guy has earned his stripes to be called by his title.

I'll bet cha' if all these techs were male, he would not come home and refer to them as "the guys" he would call them techs

a little more light on the subject, my guy grew up in the James Bond era, he REALLY likes the ladies. i really feel like he is focusing on the fact he is working with "skirts" and not peers

Is This Sexism?

My husband works with 99% women; when he comes home and we discuss work he refers to his co workers as "the ladies". I have told him that his thinking is dated and comments are promoting sexism as he is looking at them as "skirts" only and not individuals with titles for which they have earned, or employees that have a name.

What do you think?
