		<description>Will these type of comments never end? I am of an age where these comments have been common place for years. Unfortunately, this is still happening.  It is very difficult to speak up in the work place for fear of reprisals no matter how unlawful.  I continue to speak up and educate those around me and try to encourage action.</description>

		<description>HI Cynthia:

I love this web site and it&#039;s perfect for stopping the everyday sexist remarks that some uncaring men do to demean and insult women. Why do they do this/ Because they feel they can and making jokes about women they won&#039;t get &quot;beat up&quot; or some other thing. They even insult their own peers and call each other names like a big joke.

Nevertheless, you are right that remarks and slang terms downgrade women and make them uncomfortable in the workplace. How can hard working and intelligent women work under these conditions? It&#039;s hard and causes stress, and if they report their colleagues for sexual discrimination they become &quot;victims&quot; and the pressure is even worse.

I have seen it myself in my company, yes we had a Human Resources Department and Sexual Discrimination policy but some of the men still didn&#039;t give women the respect they deserve. This is why I became a pro-feminist male and have been reading, writing my own feminist web blog, attended feminist and women author book signings and volunteering for women&#039;s movements. Like Code Pinks Boston, NARAL Pro-Choice, Planned Parenthood, Avon Walk and the Susan Komen Walk for Breast Cancer, and joining a Men&#039;s Feminist Group (where all the men are very supportive of the women&#039;s movement.) I also post women&#039;s organizations on my Face Book page http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=730801782&amp;ref=profile

Well, I have to go visit my dad, he&#039;s in rehab so have a great day.

Thank you for a wonderful recourse and I will be posting more on your web site if you allow me too. Kudos.

Love,

		<description>The author is right on the money to  educate men and women not only on  sexist remarks but also traditional  believes. It too easy to just listen and not respond. That it  is not okay for these jokes and remarks to be aired.
