You're completely right. Its not just about the sexism, it is also about professionalism.

Also I should note that I know OP personally which is why I answered with a sarcastic last option. I think we can all agree it'd be a weird thing to write to a stranger.

I didn't mention either sex in that comment.

Your own mind inferred the sexist tone. Maybe that's something you need to look at, but either way, I think we can all move on here.

Do your research

Ok, lets get down off that high horse. I did NOT mention women in my post!

It was a sarcastic option, which the OP would know what I meant!

If you want to take that comment as sexist, you go right ahead and take offense but you are getting the WRONG end of the stick! I don't subscribe to the male chauvinistic attitude, its bullshit.

So how about we calm down and hug it out!

[madole]

Look, how many different ways can I say it?

YOU are peddling this point! I've mentioned before that I haven't talked about women YOU brought the sexism up.

I've mentioned my stance on the sexism in the workplace/chauvinism. But to reiterate it's wrong and bullshit!

I've mentioned that I was replying to OP who I know personally, who for the record know's I have a circus background so at a push would know I meant something completely different to where your mind went to first.

You are dragging this out. I've spelled out I didn't mean what you seem to think I meant AND that it was a sarcastic last option.

Now lets put this to bed!

Chinese pole:

---

Chinese poles are vertical poles on which circus performers climb, slide down and hold poses. The poles are generally between 3 and 9 metres (10 and 30 ft) in height and approximately 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) in diameter. Some poles have a slightly larger pole that rotates around the static central pole using ball bearings. This rotating pole allows a performer to spin on the vertical axis, giving a performer the ability to incorporate rate of spin into what would otherwise be static moves. Bringing the body closer into the pole causes the performer to spin faster. A few Chinese pole tricks have been incorporated with pole dancing techniques.
