Work at a well known electronics fruit store. Worked there part time for 4 and a half years. Got spoken to like absolute shit by 6 people in a row. Today was not a good day to press my buttons. Didn't react. Left the floor. Spoke to a manager. And left for the day.

9 months later, looking for promotion. Would be perfect for it. Wouldn't let me due to one incident of bad composure.

Multiple women have been promoted. Many of whom have cried on multiple occasions and had to go home due to arsehole customers. But because I'm a bloke, and I react in a different way, it's completely different.

Bull. Shit.

Rule #1, life ain't fair. Never should have let 'em vote. Mwhahaa.

Challenge it on those grounds. Inequality along gender lines hurts all of us - which is sort of the point of feminism.

Yeah, I don't think these people realize that equality rules mean equality, which should be obvious

no reason to react cunty to his confession. Guess you would be less cunty if it was a woman opening her heart, eh?!

There's probably more to this story than you're letting on.

If there's any other instances of sexism, have record of them and bring them up. Record all current/ future instances

Build a case and present it as gender based discrimination. Go to an HR rep or corporate rep and not store/GM.

There actually isn't man. I'm the highest scoring member of the team. Best customer feedback. Quickest appointment times....

Only thing against me was one instance of composure. It's fucked up
