Sitting on a beam, the guys were talking about how another stagehand's daughter was knocked up. "Well what did he expect ater bringing her here" "I would never bring my daughter to work here" (please note, she wasen't knocked up by a stagehand.)
of course I perked up at that and gave them a look, "Oh you don't think this is a good environment for women?"
they caught on sort of and ran with compliments instead of their train of tought: "Well not you, you're tough enough, but like, other women"
I left it alone, it was 3am. I didn't want to pick fights with my coworkers.
But why would you bring a son to work and not a daughter? What does that say about your workplace? So you openly admit it is more hostile to women? What have you done to make that better? Do you think you contribute to it? Would you then turn around and say that sexisim doesn't exist in our job?
Sometimes I feel like I'm turning into a fucking rock. So much so that when I call people out for racist/sexist/homophobic or other social slurs and they say, "aww are you offended?" I want to laugh in their face. It is really hard to offend me now a days, because I've become a mother fucking rock.
But just because I'm not offended, doesn't mean i'm going to let them slip into being shitty motherfuckers.
Also, when people "debunk" the wage gap myth I want to point out that the wardrobe department is a specialization department in the stagehand workd, but they often get box pusher rates. That is also the job they push women towards. Meanwhile, rigging is one of the highest rates, and more often then not, there are two or less women on a rigging call at a time. *grumbles*
also, I'm fucking lonely, but I've read a lot of books.
