Jun 2, 2025, 12:59 AMHot tip: if you see a woman doing something, don't walk up and order her to do it for you.
This used to happen constantly when a woman staff member was doing the ironing at the clothing stores where I used to work. A random man would stride up and say "you can do my shirts next, thanks!", this would happen at least once per hour. I had forgotten about this until I got out my crochet while sitting alone* in public.
*alone is key. I sit doing crochet with other people all the time and strange men never approach to make orders for socks. But as soon as I sat alone today: men. Old white men. Everywhere.
