I do a lot of volunteering at my DCs school. I run a library and send out group emails with class info etc. (We are in France).
Yesterday, I send a group email asking for people to return their DCs library books.
One father replied that he would bring the book to the summer fair on saturday. Fine, says I, I will be running the "throw a sponge at the headmaster" stand, so look out for me there.
Father responds: Ooooh, is that the wet tee shirt stand?
Me: Gosh, I hope not. I will be rescinding my offer of help if so.
Father: Oh, don't say that, you might win!
Me:
WTAF? Why? Why? Why?
I am a forty-something happily married mother running a library (FFS) and still I am seen as a target for sexual banter.
And yet so many women don't want to be feminists. Bangs head on desk.
