Rant: My Fatphobic Sexist CoWorker
I work with this guy who is a typical white guy you hear about on tumblr. We watch a lot of the same shows and whenever he mentions a character and I don't remember who that is he starts to describe them, he always will start with their weight. Example is I was telling him I couldn't really get into the show Gotham I only watched the first 5 episodes. I think it was because I didn't like the guy that played Gordon. Well he mentions a name and I Don't remember who it was so he says "the fat partner". I would have gotten it with just the partner. Or with Game of Thrones he was talking about Sam and was like "God he is so fat!". Now, he is saying this to a 260 pound woman. I can only imagine what he says about me when I'm not around. I'm also really into the Black Widow and talking about shows with female leads and he always "I'm not the interested". He also said he doesn't want a Black Widow movie because she doesn't have any superpowers but then goes on to say the Bond movies are his favorite. He also refuses to watch Orange is the new black even though he has Netflix and multiple people have told him he should watch it. He was saying how he really liked Guardians of the Galaxy and when I told him it was written by a woman he said "well it want that great." What really pissed me off into making this post is we were talking and. He was saying a girl that works at his bank has a guy haircut and he wants to ask her if she's a lesbian, an then he goes on to say "well technically I could because I don't work there." And I looked at him like are you kidding me and I said "no you can't" which he responded with "well yeah it's not against the law." And I'm like "but it's really rude." And walked away and I feel so bad for this girl if he does like how is she supposed to respond to that? She can't be rude or she'll get fired, also he's an ass for assuming a woman with a short haircut is automatically a lesbian. There are other things but this is long enough and I need to get back to work.
