Excuse me, Sir?
Last night I was invited to a house warming party for one of my sorority sisters. I had just gotten off of work at midnight and wanted to freshen up and change before going. Originally I had on a very revealing top, but that didn't matter much at work because I have a uniform shirt. So, I went home and changed into a t-shirt that was less revealing. I knew the host and one other person that was there. I usually try not to draw attention to my chest because, well, they are kind of like a big deal. For those that actually read my blog I just posted about my love hate relationship with my boobs. The attention men like to throw at them does not flatter me at all. Any how, I get to the party and she introduces me to some of her coworkers, most of them just happen to be males. We get into a conversation about sobriety. At this point I had only had one drink, even though it was strong I could hold it pretty well(I am not an alkie!). One of the guys is absolutely intrigues by the fact that I can handle my liquor so well. He says I must be a camel. I find that remark funny so I add " I guess I keep it in my hump". Then he throws in "which one?". I swiftly put him in his place because A. He didn't know me; B. It's rude to comment on someones body; and C. I found it extremely disrespectful. He apologized and I accepted his apology but it made me view him differently. Was I wrong? I know I'm good for going off on someone for coming out of their mouth the wrong way, but when it comes to me and my body I can be extra fierce. I feel like I have every right. We ended up mending our differences and had a great rest of the night.

i dont think you should view him differently though!
ReplyDeletei mean I can understand how he probably felt comfortable saying a little slick remark after some conversation...
and i can see how you didnt because, well he is a stranger and that sort of remark is pushing it...
but you gotta remember he is a MAN
we all do/say/think dumb things like that at some point in our lives.
forgive him... blame it on the alcohol/testosterone
