Great come backs and I've often wondered the same about the men who complain about overweight women.

A female friend of mine went on a foreign business trip early in her career with two colleagues who were both male, married, and senior to her at the company. After dinner with a client, hours after she had retired to her room, around 1 a.m., one of her coworkers knocked on her hotel door and asked if she would come out for a drink. She declined. After another hour, around 2 a.m., the other coworker knocked on her door. When she opened it a crack, he tried to push his way into her room. She fought him off. All three still work together.

Yes, but in most office/work situations I’ve been it, it would NOT go over well.
I guess you don’t call them Effin Sex Machines to their face, do you? Otherwise, they might revise their feelings about American men.
“Hands to yourself!” is Rule 2 in my house and Cub Scout Pack. (All the leaders now shout, “Rule 2!” to the amusement of outsiders.) It used to be Rule 1, until I decided, “Flush the toilet!” needed to be Rule 1.
Would you tell a man that you likes his hair down or that he should wear low cut shirts?
Hey, check out this thread, lol.
I am just reporting facts, you can analyse it any way you want. Universally American women are not thought of well overseas. I wonder why?

No ... Rule 1 is "No Poofters!"
If she was, she wouldn't have listed 57 things for men to stop doing.
57 things? Really?
I don't think I could list 57 of anything I would do or not do, not matter what it was. Does she keep these 57 things on a list on a clipboard at work?
She never learned the "KISS" rule. Keep It Simple Stupid. And I mean you stupid...er, I mean, Kaitlan.
Hardly. Gentlemen notice ladies, but do so with care, so as to remain gentlemen. From your screen name, you are a mother, so it is likely that you exuded a satisfaction with your life outside of work that helped these gentlemen remain gentlemen (and thereby escaping notice).
I have worked with women for nearing 30 years, and yet have never acted boorish. Being a gentleman at work certainly has helped me with my 28 year marriage. (Marrying a saint helped, too - she has to put up with ME! LOL)
Yeah. I do think we need a rule that whenever a male freeper complains about a woman’s appearance, he post a photo of himself.
Preach it sister.
She was on quite a roll about keeping things professional at work, right until the end, when she changes her mind and says that women don’t have to follow the same rules she’s just outlined in excruciating detail for men. So, it’s OK for a woman to tell a male coworker she wants to have sex with him, but it’s not OK for a man to tell a woman? And that’s my issue with her rules. Either make them the same for everyone, or quit whining.

Rufus Hannassey: “Teach your grandmother to suck eggs!”
Burl Ives “Big Country”
Be tasteless, rude, and offensive
Live in a swamp and be three dimensional
Put a live chicken in your underwear
Go into a closet and suck eggs

This is gettin’ ugly.
“Men’s speech in the workplace is often purposefully socially and politically incorrect. “
Exactly right. I often hear things from men at work that we make darn sure there are no women around first. The advice to only say things to women that you would say to men would get most men fired, eventually.
Geezus
That won’t work down here
I have one rule for dealing with females in the workplace - maintain a 100% professional bearing at all times.
It works most of the time. Except for the crazy ones. Nothing works on the crazy ones.
I’ll make that Rule 1 when the residents no longer need the current Rule 1. Surely another five years will do it ...
