Horribly Sexist Forwards

Is anybody else righteously offended by sexist email forwards that circulate through the office in the form of “jokes”?

*Twice* now, I’ve gotten into actual FIGHTS with friends of mine over this sort of thing. This time, the email was a bunch of photos that suggested that women are: stupid, lazy, shallow, and ignorant. And it was being sent TO women, BY a woman!

I consider ignoring this sort of thing on par with walking past a woman being smacked down by her boyfriend, except with wider-ranging effect. The results are similar, too. Nobody involved appreciates my interference, but I feel like crap if I don’t speak up.

  1. Ack… I hate fowards like that. I actually ended up sending an e-mail back to someone telling her how offended I was to get her to stop. There was just no other way.

    I also hate the dish towel and book exchanges. But then I’m just mean that way.
