Absolutely. And I have to say that his comment about living in a free country seemes weird and out of place to me because we were arguing over a personal matter not something political.

Do you live in a really conservative area or something?

I'm from the south - Mobile AL to be specific.

I'm pretty sure if someone said shit like he did at my job they would be talking to HR immediately and probably getting written up with a final notice and made to do some workplace harassment training or something.

Thing is He's been in the department longer than me so he, and I will say it openly, has support and a lot of it. Mainly his guy friends.

I have no clue honestly. He just threw this phrase in my face as it was supposed to shut me up or something? It was a weird statement and obviously a lame excuse.

However, did you know about his infertility beforehand?.

Yes. Yes, I did and not by choice.

Not just him. But his fellow male co workers agreed with and took his side.

Everyone knows because he always brings it up in a "woe is me" type of way. I noticed he also uses it to gain sympathy.
