They may call it a "microaggression" but when an offense is weaponized to destroy someone's career, that's a MACRO problem.
This man in Massachusetts, Vito Perrone, was offered a job as a school superintendent, but the offer was rescinded because he offended a couple of gals in charge of hiring when he used the term "ladies" to address the females.
There used to be a time when the proper and gentlemanly thing to do would be to call women "ladies" but in 2023 it's a "microaggression" and keep you out of a job.
In an attempt to negotiate a higher salary, he addressed the duo of females on the hiring committee as "ladies" and they fired back by calling the title "hostile" and "derogatory."
Then they took back their offer!
Because he was a "microagressor"!
Perrone said Kwiecinski (the hiring chairwoman) told him that using "ladies" as a greeting was hostile and derogatory and that "the fact that he didn't know that as an educator was a problem,'" he told the Gazette, adding that she also reprimanded him for using "ladies" as a microaggression.
The real mistake here wasn't Vito's politeness, but that he assumed that these women were actually ladies and not vindictive, sexist, woke losers.
If you ask me, Vito dodged a bullet on this one. You could not pay me enough to work with these perpetual and whiny victims.
What happened here appears to be that Perrone tried to negotiate a higher salary and these women freaked out and just pulled the offer altogether and acted offended at a very benign, normal, and societally acceptable greeting to cover up their inability to negotiate.
And since they refuse to answer any questions from the media about their reasoning in withdrawing the offer, we can assume that Perrone's version of events is an accurate portrayal.
What a stupid world we live in where using the word "ladies" to refer to ladies is an offense that can keep you out of a job.
Everything woke turns to you know what.
Or perhaps “vaginistas”.
We need a law making that illegal. If they can have a law prohibiting prospective employers from asking about your marital status then they can ban this too. This is how they blackball conservatives and reserve the good jobs for liberals. They are discriminating based on political beliefs.
He dodged a bullet by not landing that job.
When the kooks run the schoolhouse
And Venus thinks its's from Mars
madness will rule the planet
just stay out of their bars
This is the mourning of the Age of Vagittarius
Age of Vagitarrius
Vaggitarius
Victimhood and misunderstanding
Suspicion and namecalling
No more dreams of peace
more wartime revelations
and realtime persecution
Vaggitarrious Vaggitarrious
My undergraduate came from there
Cynthia Kwiecinski is probably really fun at parties.
She needs to be shamed, vehemently.
If they were men pretending to be women they would have been flattered. Instead they were self hating/man hating feminists.
He's lucky he didn't get hired.
š Iām so glad Iām retired. I say lady and ladies all the time. I often say āfine young ladyā, ābeautiful ladiesā, and inject all sorts of superlatives. Women still like to be complemented.
so if calling females ladies is now wrong, how do people now address females?
???
Sue them.
Yep. Saved him from working with those hysterical harpie broads...
But being in education he is probably full on woke himself and helped make schools what they are.

El Conquistadoress?
The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
So, is gentlemen out to now as a salutation. What do you then call a congregation of men or women. You women? I think these two lady women should be fired by whoever their boss is for their abject stupidity and inability to function. Whoever hired them should be fired too.
The greeting for mixed groups is “Ladies and gentlemen “. (Even Autocorrect knows that)
Has been for centuries.
These people are destroying all certainty and turning life into a tricky obstacle course that you cannot win. Words that you have known for decades are now used to justify your firing. Man doesn’t mean man. Woman doesn’t mean woman. Scientific facts are denied.
Logical certainties are discarded. Accepting logical contradictions is a requirement.
I think the proper salutation is,
“Jane, you ignorant slut.”
Oh! Sorry bitch! Didnāt mean to offend.
Laz would not hit that!!! that is a man.
I hope these Ladies’ stupidity wins a large lawsuit.
A guy I know who wasn’t hired after a job interview because he referred to the receptionist as “gal.” I told him he would have been very unhappy if they hired him.
