Warning.... Rant....
Since I moved here, I have been blown away by the things, so many men do and say to women. I have never experienced disrespect like this before. Where I lived before, everyone knew me. Maybe, I was respected? Maybe, people feared Hubby? I don't know. I can see, maybe younger people having different ways. But, I am talking about men my age, and older. They say and do obnoxious things. And, you guys know, I am no prude. I can play with the big boys. But.....
I could give a ton of examples, but here is what happened today..
I participate in a forum(local), discussing politics, etc.. There is a group of us, who are 'regulars'. Personally, I only know one of them. Today, one of the men, a regular, started a FB chat with me. He lives somewhere here in my neighborhood. He is married. He is a local business owner. He has always been so nice on the forum. We went 'off forum', to discuss a particular candidate. That candidate was 'on forum'. Then, he mentioned we should meet some day for breakfast. I told him that would be great. I know, he and his wife often go to the diner down the street for breakfast. I always thought, it would be nice to meet them. So, I was happy when he mentioned it. Then, out of nowhere, he sends me an inappropriate picture of himself. Who does that?
The world has changed. I am not sure when it happened. It makes me sad..............
