    The reality is that if you run into these people, you often run into these people where they have cover. You also have to remember that the HR people will always side with the bigot because to admit the bigot is doing bigot things opens the company to liability. The HR person's job is to limit liability as much as possible, so the bigot is never a bigot doing bigot things. The bigot al;ways has an ally with HR is how you have to proceed, and that becomes a problem.

    Most companies and HR have a billion ways to fuck with you if they want to. Miserable people find other jobs. People who are not getting advancement often look to better their lives through other positions. A person with seniority and history leaving their position often ends up looking good on paper even if everyone else is worse for it because they have to pick up the slack of a hard worker who does not have the company look.

    The more you are in a conservative environment, the more people you have who feel the only good person is a conservative person, and the less you have a support group of different looking people. I do not like @Jenee but radically changing a woman's hairstyle might not be a whole disaster, but it can drastically change the way others perceive you, especially in conservative areas. Conservative men take offense at a lot of things, especially if a woman starts to take ownership of her look that they may like.

    Yea, I know a lot of women have shaved heads. And UA has offered to shave my head for me. Most of my friends have encouraged it as well. And my family is used to my eccentricities, they’ll accept it. For the majority of my life, I’ve had short hair, so I don’t know why it’s such a leap for me. But …., I just can’t bring myself to pull that trigger. You can take the girl out of that 1960s, Ozzie and Harriet mindset, but you can take the 1960s, Ozzie and Harriet mindset out of the girl, I guess.

    I have had hair dressers actually cry when cutting my hair - especially when I’ve gone from long hair to short hair. And my hair grows fast. So I have to have it cut often. Every six weeks at least.

    If he and I can agree on one thing, it'll be "do what will make you happy".

    Salesman: "This one has the towing assembly in the front that will attach to any standard trailer hitch, so that it can be towed behind a camper or other vehicle."

    UA: "Can I tow it with another Jeep?"

    Salesman: "Yes."

    UA: "And if that one has the same towing assembly, can I add a third Jeep?"

    Salesman: "I don't see why not."

    UA: "And then once I've assembled the Jeep Centipede, can I tow the whole thing with my bike?"

    Salesman: "I wouldn't recommend trying to tow three Jeeps with a bicycle."

    UA: "Not what I asked."

    I’m not joining a fight club, either. And I have enough crazy in my life, no need for DID victims.

    I mock UA in a mean way, making him out to be a shitty person; UA: "Nope."

    I mock UA in a non-mean way, making him out to be a weird person; UA: "Yep."

    I'm fine with this.

    To be fair, I feel this needs to happen. For science.

    Completely unrelated, are you okay with the scientists having pink or purple hair?

    While I’m ok with a pink jeep, it must say TONKA not Barbie. Also, UA refuses to paint it pink.

    but that's fuchsia on the body and hubs, not pink.

    Seriously... I dare him to defy conventional masculine archetyping and paint that Daisydukemobile fuchsia.

    He can keep the dildo attachment if he likes

    Makes me wonder if Barbie's casting director had called up UA and said, "We need you to be one of the Kens, and you have to drive a hot pink Jeep Wrangler during the shoots," would he have said yes?

    but what adjective would you ascribe to UA Ken?

    Toxic dwarf LARPer Ken?

    Leather Daddy bottom Ken?

    Macho Insecutity Ken?

    the possibilities are... not all that catchy
