Sexual remarks at work

SIA training:
Trainer: Here is a video of someone mishandling a jaguar, we can't show an actual incident so we use a nature video instead to show you what can happen if you don't pay attention to someone who is feeling trapped.
Classmate: So now we know what to do when a jaguar enters the building.
Me: We haven't got any jaguars around here but we do have plenty of cougars......
 
There is no such thing as sexual equality.

How many times have you seen a woman slap a man, either seriously or in jest... and how many times have you seen a man slap a woman? Are the reactions the same in each instance?

No, they aren't. Because there's no such thing as sexual equality.

It's not that bad a situation, to be honest. Just be glad that throughout your entire life, you won't have to endure periods, childbirth or have an erect penis to contend with.

Women can have their sexual innuendo in the work place, I'm quite happy with the deal when all's said and done.
 
If the world was 'fair' sure... stick a complaint in, but the reality is in her own way she was prob just trying to be social and get a bit of a rapport going, I assume women deal with much worse on a daily basis.

Wait. What's going on here?
 
Quit in protest.

Or just go about your daily business as there's nothing there to get your knickers in a twist over, if only everyone was as easy going as your trainer the world might be a little funnier instead of everyone trying to get offended over every little thing someone says.
 
When you're training people it's good to keep the mood light by making a few jokes, you just need to know your audience. As I train in a very male dominated industry (construction) I normally don't have to worry too much about making a few rude jokes. On the few occasions I have trained women I have just curbed the rude jokes till I get the measure of their humor. My female colleagues on the other hand are ruder then me.
 
One of the female officers I work with in the prisoner handling team (she's of advancing years too) told us she'd had to have a trim "downstairs" as it was resembling a burst mattress. She also said she's IC7 "down there" and complained about being ginger.

I said "No Sal, it's African Sunset"

I'm now known her little African Sunset.

Man up.

I want to understand.
 
Oh woe is me, I'm offended by everything and everybody, let me complain, I must complain, NEED TO COMPLAIN about something or someone as it wasn't my fault and I'm offended about everything and all things. Back in my day this was called a bit of banter and you took it with a pinch of salt. Folk these days just can't seem to have a laugh without being offended or wanting to sue someone for some sort of mental anguish :rolleyes:
