#sexist stereotype

You'd better watch out Dale, you're objectifying secretaries with a sexist
stereotype. If you don't watch out, you're going to be deemed a
Chauvinist Pig and branded with a letter 'P' on your forehead.

I'm sure Dale meant 'Administrative Assistant'<g>.

Ah, well, OK, but he'd better get his terminology correct if he wants to
be on the right side of the Great Revolution. <g>

Oh, yeah? How do you abbreviate the second word of the title?-)

Huh? I said "secretaries type." I didn't say anything about male or female
secretaries or what else they might be good for or how cute they might be.
Sorry, Paul, but Dale made no reference to whether the secretary was male or
female. You made an assumption and are therefore in danger of the hot iron! <g>

By the way, I think all the women should run the world and the men should be
the abused secretaries. Both would be happier.
Children should run the world, we'd all have fun and own AMIGAS!

Dale,
Ahh, I have this feeling that you went and saw "Disclosure", eh? Speaking of
which, I love the offices they used as sets.

Paul,
You are the one being sexist. Dale did not mention gender, only job
description. The definition of that job description is …
One who keeps records, handles correspondence, etc., for an organization or
person.

he never said the secretary was a female… is that YOUR sexist stereotype?

We have a shared secretary in my office and HE happens to be male.
Assuming that the _job title_ refers to a female is what is sexist. I
think you owe Dale an apology for calling him sexist when you are the one
casting the stereotype.
