Do You Ever Find it Hard to be a Woman?

I've had a hell of a week, and I'm so glad it is officially over. I'm so tired of certain types of men thinking they can talk to me however they like. Before I go any further, I want to say that I know more quality men than I do sorry assholes. I am by no means lumping all men together. Ok, back to my bitching. I am very aware that women have more pressure on them in the workplace because of appearance. I have always dressed more than nice for my job, and this week I got bit in the ass. A customer came in and needed some help. He was really frustrated with the service he had received, and it was my job to smooth things over. It really wasn't a big deal to take care of. Apparently he thought I had done something "special" just for him. I would have helped any customer who came through my door. His last comment to me was, "You're really hot." What the fuck? I told him not to talk to me like that. He seemed flustered, but he went away. I bitched to Sukie about it, and then I was done with it. I received an email from him tonight. He basically told me that if I didn't like his comment then I should stop dressing and acting the way I do. First of all, I kind of act like a bitch. I do that because I don't want to deal with bullshit like this. Second, I have giant tits, and I am curvy. I can't help that. I don't wear loose fitting jumpers and sneakers. It's just not my style, and it would not fit in with my work atmosphere. Why should I have to dress differently? For God's sake I had on a sweater set the day he said something to me! I'm really mad at myself this evening because I've let him get to me. It made me feel like no matter how hard I try, I am still just a woman in the workplace. I don't really know how else to explain it. I'm not used to giving up any power or control, but I feel like I let a little slip tonight when I got upset. Damn it!
