cornhobbleSo, ~ladies, do you ever notice guys acting overly condescending to you but not towards other guys?
I've noticed it a lot lately. I've been reluctant to say anything because I thought it was my shitty self-esteem imagining things or me being oversensitive, but I'm noticing a definite trend here. :|
To the story: we did peer reviews in my writing class. My essay was shit and too short, so I wasn't happy with it. I was in a group with two guys and we traded papers. Then came concrit. Like I said, my essay was too short and shitty, but one of the guys was just... idk, there was a definite condescending vibe in the room. And his essay definitely wasn't any better than mine.
SIGH. I guess it could be run-of-the-mill everyday smugness, but when I'm dealing with smug women the dynamic is never quite the same. :/ I think maybe it's a combination of the two -- doesn't have to be either or, amirite?
I hate being in situations where I'm the only girl. I never felt this way before! But now even when the guys are being nice enough I tend to feel uncomfortable. There's this feeling of inadequacy that I get less around women, but I'm not sure if that's the guys or me. I could be projecting.
idk, flist. I DO NOT KNOW. It's also 3 in the morning so I shouldn't be posting rn, lol.

Then, stop suddenly and turn to your least favorite person, give him the stink eye stare and say in your most evil voice, "You'll be the first to go". Follow up with maniacal laughter.
Thirdly, calmly return to your seat, finish your assignment and hand it in as if nothing has happened.
Lastly, pull out your premade peanut butter sandwich and eat it in front of everyone.
