    At my last job in England one of the engineers asked whether it counted as being gay if he had sex with blokes but didn't really enjoy it.

    I was only joking

      πŸ˜„ What I love about that, is that if you asked that at an all-staff meeting during mandatory sensitivity training, if you were able to keep your nerve and say it deadly serious enough, there's nothing they could do to you.

      Please love yourself.

        Years ago, during one of those mandatory sexual harassment classes, where the person drones on about the nastiness against women in the workplace and then the poor dears go home to men who mistreat them...I couldn't help myself. I had to ask the session leader if there were any...sniff, sniff...resources for men whose wives physically mistreated them at home.

          Very good advice on this thread.
          When you can, use humor to make your point, even if you need to say the opposite of what you really mean, and then whatever you do, keep a straight face as if you're serious.

          I would love to be the fly on the wall, when Aqua participates.
          But, I'd burst into laughter, even if I were a fly.
          And you know what happens to noisy flies.

            I've reached the point where I think I will, if only to provide me with more TNCR topics of conversation afterward.

                  I thought about that, too. It would be an awesome way to signal some bullshit nonverbally. And I work with people who would absolutely question me on it, which wouldn't end well.

                      That is obviously unequivocally true. Many times Trump has been openly and loudly decried in large meetings in my workplace. I have never heard a single person publicly or privately say they support the man. (I have said this privately but never publicly.) And that sort of discrimination has real effects on one's professional abilities and advancement potential.

                      I suppose the slightly more clear-headed lefties would admit to all that and say that yes, that sort of discrimination is right and just. The less clear-headed would deny it. That would make for an interesting roll call. Which lefties would accept that as just, and which would deny it. I guess the latter would pretend that lots of workplaces are exactly like that against supporters of Dem candidates, so it's a wash.

                        And I know you never said anything negative about the previous administration because you wouldn't have a job.
