Brina had a wake up call at work. It seems as though I NO longer have that 'Male Priviledge' any more.
I had asked an operating engineer to move his machine 5 feet forward as it was blocking the laser beam we use for setting elevations, and was pleasantly ignored. Do I miss it NADDA, but it is frustrating standing there while to guys chew the fat and I'm unable to do my work .

Byee,

While I still present as male to almost everyone, this is something I have noticed a lot more even in my own speech.  I try really really hard to work on this, but still it comes through.  My wife doesn't work a "job" right now beyond our children; but looking back on that conversation I am ashamed of myself:  the other day I was complaining that my clothes weren't clean or something mundane at home to someone at work and that the least she [the wife] could do is take care of those kind of things while I worked. 

Have to work on that.  And if the person who I was talking to at work would have pointed that out, perhaps I could have stopped there instead of just whining.

I hate whining, especially when I only come to the realization that I've been doing it all along.  There is no reason on earth why I couldn't have done those clothes or dishes or whatever myself.

If I work hard on this and treat her with respect I know she deserves, my daughters will perhaps learn from us, and my wife will support me (selfish motive, I know) on my gender journey.

If you feel up to it, I would talk to those guys as they are and call them on it.  I wish someone would have said something to me so I could slap myself in the forehead.

But, I know I'm a little weird.  Having 2 daughters and gender questions and reading the feminist literature I've been can bring someone a way down that particular road.

Have you tried talking to your boss about it? From the sounds of it, you just took in whatever that guy dished and continued on with your day. I don't know if you see the matter as too childish-worthy to report it, or not. But something has to be done. What if this guy goes out of control next time? It may of started as a case of male dominance in decision making, then it could turn into a sideshow about his physical strength over yours. Before you know it, you could get hurt from aggravating him with more requests.

Because this guy sounds a bit edgy in a sense. By "pleasantly ignoring" you, he shows that he obviously doesn't give a care. He would rather not deal with you. And if you continue to press on, he's most likely to get annoyed and angry.

So, if you're looking for a solution to all this, I suggest you bring it up with your employer.
