Today, I was conducting a meeting regarding safety concerns on my field site. While I made a comment, a client rep yelled out that women don't know construction, and that I should be acting like a proper secretary and should get my boss. I'm the Construction Manager. FML

It always seems that women will be forever defending themselves in male dominated industries

Whenever I read an FML that includes this degree of stupidity and ignorance, I always think, "Please don't be in the US! Please don't be in the US,! Please don't be in th- **** it's in the US"

Client or not, kick his Neanderthal ass to the curb! (Ie remove his from the meeting and your client list). That is ridiculous.

33 - that was so rude! You can't go around saying things like about people. You make it seem as though women judge people on their looks.

Oh no! The weaker sex speaks words! I must display my superior genital status and put her in her place! "Women is stupid. Haha." Nailed it.

A man would have fired him on the spot for insubordination.

As a man, if I were you as the boss, I would explain to the client rep who I was and that I'd be speaking directly with the client and that the rep is not to show up to anymore meetings. Then ask the client what they're doing about getting a new rep.

That's Perdix. I have rarely seen him take it to far, this is NOT one of those times. He is very sarcastic. It's just how he is. He doesn't mean anything by it though :)
