(10 Feb 2015, 8:07 pm)MarcTheA4 Was called an extreme sexist by my design teacher...

We have been doing sewing for a month now, and I just can't grasp it. I was getting frustrated so I said 'My mam can sew, my grandma can, but my dad can't and neither can I - so it seems to be more of a talent with females rather than males'...her response 'that's extremely sexist, go before I lose it with you.

F***ing emo.

She has a point though.

If you were to join the army, or to become a medical doctor, you would have to learn to sew.

Fair enough, but she seemed to overreact. I was quiet when I said it, not as though I shouted it across the classroom. I only said it to her and not the whole class in a big discussion.

'Go before I lose it with you'...it's not like I was saying it specifically offend her, God...I feel like women seriously overreact to even the mildest of sexism...even when it isn't intended!

And I don't think I would be suited to either of those occupations.

This really annoys me, an absolutely obscene amount of money, that could be far better spent elsewhere. Maybe to fund medical research, to save lives in less developed countries with clean water etc.  Angry

Whatever context you said it in does not take away the fact you did say it, and nabbed saying it, I feel it may be a bit of an over reaction by your teacher, and some people will play the Sexism Card very quickly, in the same way people use the race card in supposed racist incidents.

Just be careful what you say in future, and think before anything passes your lips Big Grin

I feel like 'extreme sexist' was a bit much...

*People* (better not say women, that'll cause an international crisis!!) always play the sexism card, specially that gender.

Why have freedom of speech when you can't say things that someone will dismiss as either sexist or racist? Seriously, why? Some say there's 'freedom of speech' then taking advantage of it, I feel like getting a dictionary flicking it through to 'freedom' and shoving it in their eyes so they can see!!

Calling you an extreme sexist is a bit OTT I must say, but ultimately, whether you like it or not, it is a sexist remark

There is free speech and there is going over the top, If I run round calling people p**i or n****r or use words like Kike or Yid and saying derogatory things about minorities, I will be called out for racism/anti-semitism regardless of whether I have a right to free speech or not...

It is an easy card to play as words can very easy be taken out of context, just see it as a lesson learnt and think about what you say...

I myself have been known to put my foot in it at times, I was racist to a shopowner once when I was 14 and drunk, he did not say anything, he chased me, grabbed hold of me and broke my foot, now thats extreme Big Grin

Okay. Thanks Fozz. Smile She's a b**** to begin with though, she's really friendly to some but then she's awful to others. I don't know what it is about me but some teachers just see me as a painful cheeky prick who puts on a 'posh voice' to sound smarter than I am...

I always found it can be the tone of your voice, if you have a 'posh' accent, I know people who think 'posh' people are arrogant, cocky and up there own arses, and people mis-interpret what you say by taking your words out of context...If you supposedly put a posh voice on, then you must be very good at it, I fine people who try to speak almost certainly cannot keep it up for long and will always slip back into there own accent

I do live in a nice area as I've said before, and obviously secondary school can change your dialect through seeing the way over people talk...so sometimes I do throw on a bit of a North Eastern hint to my voice, although it is mainly pretty well-spoken. Perhaps Tom can vouch for my voice sounded, when we met up - can you tell me how I sounded? Tongue

So yeah, I would say I have a well-spoken manner of speaking most of the time - just when I say 'aye' rather than yes or yeah people tend to think I slip up.

Not really annoying, but more frustrating more than anything else.

Haven't long been back from the doctors.

I was asked if I wouldn't mind seeing a student nurse. Struggling to hide the excitement, I replied "of course not".
