Misogyny

Misogyny: /mɪˈsɒdʒəni, maɪ-/Pronunciation[mi-soj-uh-nee, mahy-] –noun, hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.

Well, I suppose hatred could be a little too strong, and dislike...well. But mistrust! AAACK! The blatant disregard and objectification thereof and general apathy towards...yes, that is it! I love my job and most of my co-workers and adore 95% of my adoring public but I tell you some of the men/bosses/guests and work for make me want to bleed through my eyeballs! If I am silent and just work it's "gina, why are you so quiet?" If I engage in what I deem to be meaningful conversation, I am ignored and feel like Charlie Brown's teacher. If I fight for what is right, or try to convince the powers that be of something I deem to be important to the business I am dismissed as "uptight." Well let me tell you brothers that while I will never get credit for my insight I KNOW I AM RIGHT! Of course I signed up for a Steak House gig, full of testosterone and chest beating, so I knew what I was in for. I'll just turn to this little blog as my ultimate catharsis so I can keep some semblance of sanity, and continue working hard, making beautiful drinks, charming my guests and looking hot in my lululemon yoga pants! Whew. I feel better already! (I really do look hot in those pants...)
