Me: Hi, I’m with *** Church and we’re looking at revamping our sound system, so we were hoping you might be able to come out and do an assessment of our equipment.

Sound Co Rep:  Sure, we can do that.  Is there someone who knows the system, that can be there to show me everything and I can work with?

Me: Yes, I am the Head of Sound and will be the person to accompany you around the church.

Sound Co Rep: Oh.  Well, I’d really like someone who actually knows the sound system very well.

Me: Again, that person is me.  I am the main person who runs sound and again I head up the sound ministry at the church.

Sound Co Rep:  To be honest, I’d much rather have a man go thru everything with me since they would know it better.

Me: …

**It takes quite a bit to ruffle my feathers, so to speak.  But, that man made me SO angry.  *sighs*  Yes, my voice is high and many people mistake me for a 5 year old on the phone.  However, that does not discount my many years of experience running sound.  Yet, because I’m a woman, I’m not qualified in his eyes, to consult with him regarding my sound system at work.  Wow.  Just, wow.

What the fucking hell really?  It’s a fucking CHURCH are you seriously going to discriminate in church?  I’m not super religious by any means, but I have a feeling that the higher powers that be aren’t cool with sexism, just… wow.  WOW!  And he flat out said he’d rather have a man there?!

You should’ve been like, “There is a man here.  He’s our Lord and Savior.  And he doesn’t condone your simple minded behavior.”  Just… OMG IT’S CHURCH WHUT?!  I guess sexism really does happen everywhere, Jesus Christ.  LITERALLY!
