Oh my gosh, Dr. Cupcake -- what an awful week. WHYYYYYYY does the president insist on acting like that? Please tell me you've quit the cycling club out of disgust for his actions. There's no call for treating people like that.
At the risk of being one of *those* women, I will in fact roll my eyes here and say "because he's an old white dude and it's his job to set us womenfolk straight, duhhh". Combine that with his old school military and engineering background (back when he was in school women were scarce in his spheres of influence) and his interpersonal skills leave MUCH to be desired. We went out as a board on Saturday night to decompress after this week, and he seriously, kid you not, told our century chair HOW to drink her beer flight. Flat out mansplained, drill instructored her on how she imperitively HAD to consume her beer. We all looked up and glared at him. We have another conference call tonight and I've already begged the chair of the century to lay out ground rules for talking out of turn and not being a schmuck tonight.
The only reason I haven't rage quit yet is because he has less than three months left on his term. He said he'd "do it again for the sake of [insert bs factors here]", but several dozen of us will make sure that does not happen. If he does manage to get reelected, I'm out and will make it known why very vocally.
Okay, I promise I'm done venting about this noise. Thanks for letting me use this space to scream into.
