    where he is speaking about "the ladies" is in a medical office... so you either have "techs", "billing" or "front desk"....

    if their was one GUY tech in the group it would change the dialog and he would be referring to them as, "techs" .... cos' he's not gonna say, "the ladies & the guy", or "the ladies & the tech"....

    so, just adding one more individual to the group of a different gender changes his perspective to make it more professional sounding (and off the gender only implication)

    just having one addition- being male -to the group- makes this more professional in his thinking because of course a guy has earned his stripes to be called by his title.

    I'll bet cha' if all these techs were male, he would not come home and refer to them as "the guys" he would call them techs

    If you dislike the things that your husband does so much then why did you bother marrying him? You're being petty, and you're too stubborn to admit it.

    I'd rather be called a "lady" than a "doll" or a "babe" or anything else! I'm sure he means it in the best way possible. we must stop nit-picking over every word we're being called. we only end up seeing the negative side of things.

    bullshit.

    Someone that's just polling the audience doesn't argue against the vast majority of audience members that completely disagree with them.

    You are trying to justify your behavior to yourself, through us, and lady, we aren't buying it.

    i want to bring this to light why are you calling them hoes and bitches this definatly shows your jealousy you dont want him there at the job around women there is a problem when you post things about sexism but you sit and call these ladies hoes and bitches its just rude inconsiderate and are you fallowing them around everywere to see if this is a proper title for them

    I just cant see were your point is there is nothing wrong with him calling them the ladies as everyone else has said this is normal you need to calm down and watch what you say look at it in the light you look at his words

    I have read every post on here today and from what i see your the one who should have been posted about being sexist

    and how is that sexist? If the situation were reversed and it was all men and one woman, would you think the same way? He's still going to refer to them as "techs" in that case.

    And i betcha if all these techs were male he would call them either guys or dudes. I'm sorry, but you have not convinced me at all. And before you say that I'm not convinced because I'm a guy, let me remind you that even the women here are disagreeing with you.
