    Good for her, nothing like a strong woman. I agree you should take the matter of this idiot to the higherups.

    Kudos to the secretary. Nertz to the doofus, though. I'd say that could be grounds for filing a hostile work environment complaint.

    Great line. Unfortunately most industrial diversity training is happy just to keep the racial goonisms down to a dull war. I never expected my machine shop days to be pleasant with two of the macho bullies referring to me as the skirted queer almost everyday. (The only reference suitable on a family forum) The day came when the CEO hired a very young, well proportioned lady as his executive assistant. Her trips through the shop were usually well noticed by the two goons drooling over her, and trying to cozy up. One day she came through at the end of the shift as we all had changed into street wear (me kilted) waiting to punch the time clock and head home. She stopped in her tracks and came over to me and said quite loudly "Clan MacNeil is it?" and I replied " Yes, it is my family tartan." One of the bullies piped up with " Miss Campbell, you like men in skirts?" She yelled it is not a skirt it is a kilt! I am a Scot and that is what real men wear. And Clan MacNeil has been known to have some mighty warriors." That ended the "skirt" comments. ( A compliment from a Campbell - yes.)

    Nice to have some support from the fair ladies of the clans.

    I've not met a lady yet who had anything other than adoration for a smartly dressed man in a kilt.

    Ok, the secretary sounds like a very nice lady, glad for all that... I don't care what the fishnet guy's problem is. I'm upset about this. We all know Nighthawk by now. How does HE! get an office?
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Don't know where you are on the planet or who you work for, but if someone said that to me at work it would be enough to get him fired...particularly if that rude, insensitive behavior was repeated.

    Maybe time to hang a nice photo of Sir Sean Connery kilted on your office door.
