Me: Did you see the VPs response to her escalation?
Director: Sometimes she's like a bull in a china shop. She just needs a calming male.
Me: weird look...
Director: What? you've never heard the phrase bull in a china shop?
Me: No, I've heard that. I've never heard calming male before.
Director: laughs...
Me: laughing... That's one of the most sexist comments I've ever heard.
Director: laughing harder... Not calming male as is M-A-L-E. But as in M-A-I-L. As in an email to calm her down.
Me: laughing even hard and turning red... Oh. That's better.
