[QUOTE=Ctony;173869]Once again we’ve allowed her to derail a thread. Anytime she finds something to grab onto involving her experience in the GOM she goes for it. Its our fault for enabling her.

I made one comment about a truth that is both abundant and apparent. Proven by scientific studies around the world with statistics, research papers etc and captain pheonix decided to try to blame “my attitude” for something that has been going on for thousands of year, and is more prevelent in certain countries and -areas- of those countries.
My attitude has nothing to do with a whole culture or work culture.

I didn’t realize that all men in this industry, including myself have had it so easy. Because men never get passed up and are always treated fairly. Another thing is men in the offshore industry don’t have to deal with the family problems that are associated with being away from home…If only I knew all I had to do to advance was perform fellatio or spork with my superior…oh the time that’s been wasted.[/QUOTE]
Yea we have it so easy don’t we. Did I say it never happens to men? It should be pretty apparent who it happens to more though.
How about try this on for size: married men at work will try to interfere with a woman’s personal life if they can. If a girl is in a relationship, guys at work will try to interefere any way they can because they perceive the relationship as being the road block between them and the woman ( I know this because I tried an experiment a while ago at another company by telling people I am married and wearing a wedding ring, got probing questions about ‘doesn’t my husband do this or doesn’t my husband do that’)
If a girl starts a relationship at work she won’t be viewed as a professional and on top of that others Will try to spread rumors and sabatoge it anyway they can. If a woman doesn’t get equal chances for promotion and advancement she won’t be able to afford more time off or enjoy better schedules that enable work life balance to keep the fuckers AS FAR as humanly possible from her life outside of work!!!
I have been where I am at for a couple months now and not ONE person has asked me if I am single or not. When I worked down there it was something that I had to discuss every single effing day!!! That is just not right and shouldn’t be allowed. Being single or wether someone chooses to shit where they sleep or not should not be a discussion, and has nothing to do with someone working on a vessel in order to stand watches, trouble shoot, repair and enhance / help the performance of the vessels operation!!! Something is seriously fucked up down there, and it is NOT my attitude!!
