You know you have a serious problem when you are out in the real world and a conversation you are having which has nothing to do with politics reminds you of this board. My name is Cawacko and I'm a JPP addict.
I had a drink last week with this 24 year old girl who works in the office where I used to work and works on a team of three guys who I worked with and am good friends with. She was telling me what was going on with the team and their business and her attempts at getting more responsibilities, more work and ultimately more money. She brought up the senior guy on the team who is 56, a great great guy, and also happens to be a Democrat. The girl mentioned that she thinks the senior guy treats her in a paternalistic and almost condescending type way when she discusses her role with the team and possible advancement. She then said she thinks at times he is flat out sexist towards her.
At this point I laughed and the girl looked at me like WTF? I laughed because of course everything has to be political and I thought 'this senior guy is a Democrat, he can't be sexist' and I thought of Darla. (This was going through my head, I didn't actually say this to the girl). Now I know in the past you've said Democratic males can be sexist as well but how bad is it when I having a work conversation with someone I can think of both politics and JPP?
