I've puzzled over
this for years but now I have to ask the question. I need other's input or maybe from the womens' forum.
In an
office, if a young woman of your own age discusses a blatant sexual topic, either directly to you, or to her female
friend, clearly within your earshot, which she knows will make you feel uncomfortable, without any warning or joke
situation, etc. Is it that she liked me & wanted to get my attention the (wrong) way, or is it that she didn't like
me & wanted to make me feel uncomfortable ??
This has happened to me several times in different offices.
Often there is no warning - it happens 'out of blue'. It appears to be an 'animalistic' thing - it is like
they want to discuss sex in front of me
One woman, with a long term boyfriend, got up out of her chair,
crossed over a large open-plan office & mentioned ... wait for it ... condoms to me. No warning, no joke first, just
bamm! I was a bit shocked that time but tried not to show it. Then she said that she had embarrassed herself
...
Another time - I commented on the wild orchids outside my office window (don't ask - they grow well on
unsprayed military bases ..) & a woman of my age (we were on her own) mentioned that they were named after ...
testes!
What is going on ? I wasn't wearing any 'mones.
