I was not going to blog today, It's Friday, I'm tired from the week and I just want to chill but then last night happened. So I'm in my grad class and we're choosing topics for college student sub-populations we want to research and present on, I of course chose student athletes, but a PhD student did the same. Now I'm not one to back down but I'm not looking for a fight either. Let's just say homeboy was not excited about me picking the subject. I mean what did he expect, I actually am working in this particular field and understand the issues while he's a financial guy or something, who can't even spell. Mmm hmmm
Anyways I was like ok so what do you want to do and he's not sure. My professor makes the suggestion of one doing male and the other female athletes. As quick as that suggestion flew out, I knew what was about to happen. Before I could even respond, ole boy is like you can do female and I'll do male. WTF? Seriously, do I look like I'm gonna just fall back and say sure, you can choose while I just obey and bow down. SORRY I'M NOT THE ONE!!!! What a secretive sexist comment. Is it because I'm a woman that I have to focus on women aspects in every manner. NO. I have no issue with female athletes but that one line pushed me over the top. I snapped back, Sorry but I'm not doing that, uh oh REWIND on you, pick your jaw up PhD. loser. Eventually, I came up with a better topic that focuses on first year athletes on college campuses but the issue with all of this is that I'm really starting to despise men and PhD. students in general. This can be seen as ALL WRONG. I'm sick of these double standards in society and just because you have something swinging between your legs does give you some unwritten RIGHT to talk down to women but as I mentioned, I'm not the one and he better get it straight!!!
I am calmer now since I had a talk with my cohort at Plucker's, who actually brought up the issue and had my hot tamales from Walgreen's. I'll be OK but please be sure to know I'm in an EXTREMELY short mood and I will bite your head off and steal your shoes the next. Wait, OK so I won't steal your shoes but you get my drift.
On a another note good luck to my college teams this weekend. I expect Texas and LSU to win!!!!
P.S. What's with blogger spell checking LSU, wow seriously, NEXT!!!!!
