“Oh no, what a tragedy for me, a straight male, to be around all these women in this women dominated field. *stares into the camera like I’m on the office*”
I once took a pottery class - and in that time and place, there was a definite assumption that only women were interested in that. One man signed up for it, and the nearly universal assumption was that he must be gay if he was taking that class. "Nearly" because before the end of the course it became obvious that he and one of the female students had developed a deep and personal relationship, and were dating outside class. I wonder if he was ever aware about the assumptions - we were all polite and didn't say anything to him, of course.
And where CAN I apply to become a flight attendant?? No that's me asking because Mike has me convinced too. 😂😂 And those beards jeenie pulled them off well
Relevant: When I was in the Marine Corps I went to visit my younger brother at an Air Force base. He worked in the base hospital. I walked up to the main desk and there was a very pretty young lieutenant working the desk. With respect and military decorum I told her who I was looking for. She picked up a phone and said: "Hi Jim, it's me Julie. Your brother is here at the desk" (he was on a first name basis with an officer??????) He had his own room in the barracks (I shared a squad bay with 23 other guys) and he had a waterbed (no kidding!!). I said: "Where can I join up?"
There was an episode on Suite Life of Zac and Cody, where it turned out that the hotel manager man did ballet as a kid, and everyone started mocking him cos they found it girly. Until he mentioned that he was the only boy in class, and all 20 pretty girls in tutu skirts were fighting for his attention. 😂
I can relate to this so much. I’m not gay but people always assume I am just becuase i have only some friends that are girls. Why can’t I be friends with everyone you know? It’s just super hard. So my advice is to not always assume people are something and they probably aren’t so yeah.
There’s just certain jobs that were historically predominantly women. Like flight attendants, nurses, hair stylists, secretaries, dental techs, social workers, decorators, house keepers, etc. I knew a guy who became a nurse but went back to med school bc he couldn’t deal with people thinking he had a “womanly” job.
Thank you Jeenie for posting this video today! I was just told that I have a non cancerous brain tumor which I did surgery for yesterday. This video has really brightened my day!
