Such evil men...
I find it ironic when women complain about humorous ribaldry in the workplace, considering that "GSOH" seems to be a mandatory requirement when they're seeking men in dating sites and classifieds. Or is that only their boyfriends are allowed to be funny, and all other men must treat them as princesses? If women want to work with men, they must be prepared to accept them as they are and stop being so damned judgmental all the time. Men are sexual beings, as are women, so why all this systematic condemnation of any expression of male sexuality? Why is it that male sexuality is seen as coarse and disgusting while women can wear low-cut tops and miniskirts in the office - and no man is allowed to comment, or even look? These feminist double standards have made most workplaces like prisons as far as men are concerned - you have to watch where you look, what you say, and be constantly on your guard against behaving like anything other than a robot.
Thankfully, I work in a small company (<10 staff) of which only two are women. That's not because we are discriminatory; it's just that we've had very few women apply for the jobs we advertise (mostly IT and publishing related). The two women we do have are our accounts manager, and a proofreader/reviewer. The proofreader is somewhat straight-laced and we leave her alone - luckily she works out of the office and isn't subjected to the general friendly ribaldry that prevails here. Our accounts manager OTOH fortunately has a great sense of humour and the wit to give as good as she gets. Yes, I believe we have the world's only accountant with a coarse sense of humour!
Which is why I'd much rather work for less here than have a high-paying job in some corporate workplace where I'd have to live in constant fear of offending some feminist's PC sensibilities.
