If you want to get to know women, you can start by never calling them "females."

I'm in a serious relationship and my entirely male team knows his name, what he does, places we go for dinner - the proper stuff. And I get the same treatment about their wives, children, plans etc.

like

Why would you discuss that type of stuff with men on your team?

I don't say much but they know anyway. Doesn't help when they screenshot my tinder and save it on their phones #fml

Obviously I'm not against disclosing the normal stuff if you're in a serious relationship, but I don't see why you would even consider telling your colleagues about a ONS/what exactly happened on every date. Just talk with friends if you feel the need to share what happened.

All my male colleagues each know as much about my partner as I do about theirs. I don't see why it's any different.

Check me here: other side attorney has already reached out to me directly via email saying that an LOI is coming… Then, she sends the LOI addressed to my client, and CC:s me only. It should have been addressed & emailed to me, and copy the business folks, when an attorney knows the other side is represented by an attorney. Am I overreacting for being annoyed?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo? For context, this writer I work with conceptualizes by himself, emails the Account team, gives deep input, and makes decisions for us without consulting with me (his “partner”) most of the time. While I appreciate his proactiveness, I feel excluded, limited, and without much room to co-lead the work with him. I don’t know how to bring this up without sounding like I’m b*tching about it.

For my bisexual folks out there, do you ever give the opposite sex a try.? Then you’re like uhhh nah. I was on date number two he’s a great guy. I just couldn’t get into it sexually. Then I started looking at women again :) 🤷‍♀️ it happens right … feel like I’m going to be single forever

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.
