“[F]emale associates are very upset by not only the elementary nature of the tips themselves, but the suggestion that these would only apply to women. We have never been a very female friendly firm, but this is beyond the pale,”
Men don’t wear skirts that others can look up and be distracted, nor do they have “cleavage” to show. IF there are things that men do that “sexually” distracts, then they could be counseled on this...and should be.
I will grant these ladies one thing....the destruction of the English language is not confined to women. Men (young ones especially) are notoriuos for using “dude” in formal talk....a pet peave of mine.
Hey man, I take exception to your remarks, bro.
I am a senior executive and I occasionally use “dude” in formal settings. It’s done with love and respect, but the whole purpose of it is to make the person I’m speaking to — along with anyone else who hears it — realize he’s an idiot. I only use it when it is well-deserved. LOL.
