Listening to a show about people scamming other people, and heard the typical, “He was in the church and we trusted him and if you can’t trust church people who can you trust?” And I get that church is supposed to be a holy, trusting place, but I wish people would realize that just because someone goes to church doesn’t mean that they’re a good person.
Conversation I had yesterday with a sound company rep:
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!
