Nicole Simon, you have too much time on your hands, this is a joke video, I wouldn’t waste my time critisising a joke video that degrades men. This is clearly a sign of your insecurity. Laugh and enjoy alittle life is too short.

As said before, the video is to display what happens when blog comments would be a meeting. But I like the “send to coventry” thought. ;)

Aside – I quite enjoyed your suggesting you would take Susan out manually. ;-)

The video for me would work better as a training aid on respect in the workplace. It really isnt funny. Why should we be expected to think it is?

One other thing – it gets quite easy to learn to filter out this kind of stuff, cos you have to to get on. Which means it becomes quite easy to not hear it happening around too. And to actively avoid discussing it because the pain it induces gets in the way of proper thinking – not just the vulgar stuff, but the more subtle stuff too. Which I think is Nicole’s point maybe? Its too painful to notice it, and its hard to know how to get support for it. I havent tried it at work, but in my family I encouraged the rest of my family to just send my dad “to coventry” (silent treatment, ignore thim) when he indulged in bigotry and disparaging comments about anyone at all. He’s changed a lot. Trouble at work is, you can be HR’ed for ignoring someone – check your policy – these over protective ones are often a real bind, victimizing the victim. I do not like being turned into a victim by dangerous policies.
OK, absolutely must change my train of thought now.

I couldnt see the video, just hear it. Being blonde is not such an easy ride. We actually do hear these comments. More often though, life is more like the guy who isnt getting heard in the background. Also, the guys in big companies are savvy enough to save this kind of intimidation for ‘social’ events, where the banter is used to exclude from networking. At work, when you contribute, you get told to communicate better by “say nothing and nod and say uhuh” – real quote from my manager. The same guy who suggested at my also blonde colleague’s 21st drinks, that she should “snog all the guys”. This, at a well respected and generally better than most firm.

I see a difference between women speaking up and secondly being exposed to such vulgar language and insults. I don’t find the insults funny at all. Seriously – I can’t think of how anybody would. Personally I’ve never experienced such an environment – online or off-line. It’s a shame the creators of this video had to lower their standards to such a low level because the intended key messages are actually very representative of issues facing communities and blogs.
