(56,873 posts)When I was in my 20s and early 30s and in my first career, I was one of the first generation of women who worked in a field that had previously been entirely male dominated. So I was often one of a very few women in a room of men who tended to be 30 years older than me, or more.
I have to tell you, the thought processes that go on in some men's heads are completely bizarre. Some of them seemed to think they just had to place themselves in front of me and say something suggestive, and I was expected to fall at their feet.
I remember sitting at lunch with one once. It was a command performance that was required for my job. He kept telling me that when I slept with him (when, not if), he would introduce me to James Taylor. I kept saying, in no uncertain terms and without laughing or doing anything that would dilute the message, "That just isn't going to happen." And he kept reacting as if I was being coy and we both knew I though he was the greatest.
To this day, the thing that is clearest in my memory is the sweat droplet that was hanging from his earlobe. Blech.
There are a lot of Rudys out there.
