I took machine shop instead of sewing in HS in 1978. I was the only girl in the class. The "meathead" teacher was so upset by my presence, he would lock me out of the classroom. My fellow students had to let me in. He would never help me with any of my projects. Eventually I could not take being bullied by a 60 year old man and dropped the class.
Ha. Somehow I missed this one. Needed a good laugh.
Even by 2023s insaninty no shop teacher wouldn’t be said to be safely demonstrating operation of machinery in that outfit. He ought to have been disciplined or fired for that alone…
Ah, shame. How I miss the sobering effects of shame properly applied, when social harmony is disrupted by non consensual manifestations of things that should be private . I's a shame! Make shame useful again!
Absolutely right Jeri. Shame can serve a really useful purpose but we have all been told repeatedly that it is universally BAD, very very very BAD! Now there is no shame when there should be, and look what a mess we are in...
