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!
