Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Maybe it's just we women who feel uncomfortable. I agree that the language is sometimes inappropriate. I thought it was just me being a little oversensitive but obviously not. Some people don't know any other way to interact without tying some type of sexual connotation to the discussion. Such people generally have inadequate sense of selves and truly show this by their inability to do otherwise. Try not to take them seriously and you only go to their level if you allow yourself to.

So are you not concerned about others. Are you not aware that such comments in the workplace would be considered harrassment. What is wrong with having a group for support that can leave sexualizing others out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Actually, I didn't think that there was anything sexual at all in her initial comment! I have dysplasia too and, yes, sure enough, one of my legs is notably longer than the other (just like Bruce Lee!) I simply assumed she was referring to a congenital deformation. I guess she and I have less in common than I thought > >In a message dated 28/02/01 16:37:06 GMT Standard Time, jo1972@... >writes: > ><< " tell us more about your very long legs " I think it > lowers the tone of this board and certainly makes ME feel > uncomfortable. >> > >Sorry it makes you feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't make ME feel >uncomfortable.
