Feminist Rant

[Deleted]

Ohhh emm geee!! You guys!!!

So we are out to dinner for D's birthday so naturally I paid.

The waiter comes back for the check. The check is sitting in front of me...he says "thank you sir" to D!!!!

Wtf.. maybe I am reading too much but I'm all sorts of feminist ragey.

[PandaPear]

I get feminist ragey quick too. My latest rant has been that insurance for my car and title are under MHs last name - as is our mortgage - but when I need service they struggle to find it "because we list under the man's name as primary". That always make me go WTF. . .

Stuff like that always irritates me. Especially when its like, no, did you see the name on the card?

I must be easy like Sunday morning. That wouldn't get to me.

I'd be like, hey you're welcome!

[dana86]

I'm with fiddles on this one. It wouldn't bother me and I'd probably just speak up and say your welcome or something. I have no problem speaking up in situations like that though and don't usually take it too personally. I get more huffy oddly when it's more physical type things that it's assumed I can't or don't do because I'm female.

Lol I was asked last year while working on our patio if the head of household was home, I said that was me. The guy asked for the gentleman of the house, husband, father, Landlord.......yah I told him none of those titles lived here so I wasn't interested in whatever he was trying to sell.

This is where I'm at too.

That Hill isn't big enough to die on.

I'll sit at your table. I am a pick your battles type of person, this isn't one I'd choose.

I agree. I more gave d a look and was like wtf?. I didn't say anything but it annoyed me.

I occasionally get telemarketer calls for Mr. My_First LastName. It usually makes me chuckle, and I tell them Mr. M had a sex change and hang up.

This is TOTALLY my hill to die on. I've had experiences similar to FrozenSunshine's and have told them, "Anything you have to say to my husband, you can say to me." Particularly as it pertains to our finances. You think hubs touches our money? Think again.

I'm not sure if you guys remember me posting about this a while back, but I fired an insurance agent over treating me like a third wheel. Like, did you not notice that I'm the primary account holder on all these policies? Did you not notice that I'm the one who set up this meeting and has been doing all of the correspondence surrounding this? Don't talk to my husband like I'm not even in the room. #byefelicia

The bolded is my hill to die on because you have a relationship and repeated transactions with your insurance person. You're also spending much more on insurance than you are for a meal. I totally get that. I'm on your hill too. 

However, one server, who I'll never see again, who's making less than minimum wage and is just trying to turn over 234890324893 tables in a day, whose job is way harder than mine? Nah, that's like a mole hill for me.

agree with the easy breezy ones... I find it humorous and am not offended. Though, I would be in the toratoratori situation for all the reasons @uwhuskygirl mentioned
