Quick vent while I wait for a break to finish for a meeting I'm in, but....what on Earth is with the influx of people lately saying, "don't assume their gender!" in a sarcastic, "I'm being cute and funny" kind of way? Both in and out of work, I've heard the comment about 4 different times. Just today, it was someone commenting at a work meeting that I'm the only man in the training, and someone else responded, "well, you can't assume he's a man anymore!" She had a laugh, then referenced a recent harassment training we all had where a portion was about respecting other's gender, etc. etc. But she isn't only one. I've been hearing it all over.
Am I the only one noticing this lately? I need to find a good way to start responding to these outside of, "go fuck yourself."
