![]() I wasn’t even pretending to know more than he and therefore, potentially intimidating the poor bloke with my intelligence. I wasn’t shouting or arguing with the bloke. At the time of the “shushing” incident I was merely chatting to the bloke about computers and sharing my suggestions with him about how to fix a computer issue he was having. But I can’t help but feel that telling a woman to “shush” is highly patronising and offensive. ![]() The poor bloke whose desk is next to mine at the “new job” has a stunned possum in the headlights look about him by mid afternoon. I do have a lot to say on matters and I also like to share my thoughts freely with others. So why would a bloke think it was ok to say this to me? And more to the point, why would he say this? I don’t believe I have been told to “shush” since I was an infant. “Just shush” There it was again, the utterance of the word “shush”. I was talking to a bloke the other day and he told me to “shush!” “Ahhhhhh pardon?” I replied.
