    I know I shouldn’t be shocked by misogyny and I shouldn’t get into internet slap fights, etc.

    But holy fucking shit. I didn’t expect to fully run into grown ass men here on Lemmy who are “genuinely baffled and in disbelief” that women over 55+ can be fit and attractive.

        Oh it’s everything. I’m just very tired of keeping the peace so things can keep going. At work, with family. It’s eggshells everywhere and becoming exhausting. It was always there before gestures but it’s at 11 now.

            Mostly it’s working for people who don’t think as I do and holding my tongue. Gonna bite it off. Figured other people are suffering this also. Gotta keep the job, you know? All the retroactive hugs for when you experienced this.

    My workplace still hasn’t given me my actual badge yet, I’m on my third week here. Everyday when I clock in I have to find the security guard to make them give me a temp badge, then have to find them at the end of my shift so I can get whatever I traded for a temp badge back.

    You’d think it’d be important for an EVS tech to have their own badge quickly so I don’t have to wait for at least half an hour each shift. But guess they don’t want me to have it easy for the first few weeks. I’m lucky I at least have another EVS tech to work with so she can get me around till the security guard can get me a temp badge. So frustrating having to deal with this, literally typed this up while waiting on the security guard to come to his office.
