[speaker001:] I am totally fed up with my boss. He has crossed the line one too many times with his sexist comments. This time I am really going to report him for sexual harassment.
[speaker002:] What happened? Did your boss say something to offend you at work?
[speaker001:] He constantly lets inappropriate things slip out, referring to the women employees as girls or calling us sweetheart or darling. I doubt any of my male colleagues would stand for such treatment.
[speaker002:] Don 't you think you are overreacting a little? Calling you by nicknames shouldn 't be so bad...
[speaker001:] You 're missing the point. It 's about respect. He treats us with such a patronizing attitude, as if we are not equal or not as serious as our male co-workers. It 's his attitude that needs to be changed, not just his words.
[speaker002:] That 's what you get for working in a male-dominated field. I think you 'll find that most male bosses in your industry are already conditioned to treat females in this way. You probably won 't be able to change him.
