equality?

(this is by no means a generalisation, there are very professional women, and they dont fall into the stereotype described herein)

(Friday evening)
Scene : deadline nearing
Head(H) : "Everyone must work over the weekend! We have a crunch situation, we need to prove ourselves to the customer"

Female Coworker 1(FC1) : my husband wants to take me to for the weekend for a wedding in his family.
H: ohh hahahaha so lucky . Go by all means!

Female Coworker 2(FC2) : My mum in law is in town over the next three weeks. i cant come over the weekend.
H: *nodding to self* ohh yes, i too want my wife to be treatings my Maather with respuckt. please give your MIL my regards.

Me: I have some important bank work thats overdue.
H: ohhh nonono ... you have to come, you have to set an example for the younger entrants in the team ! look at me, i bought and im working from home too! (yeah like Excel takes a lot of brainpower?) defer your work, ill give you any day off next week, except we have a deadline next week, so i cant give you any day off till (4 months from now)

now and here

i am a good guy. doesnt mean that i can take shit lying down indefinitely.

when men feel frustrated, they cry sometimes. more often than not we happen to rail at fate, at our circumstances.
we feel insecure too.

to You, nameless silent one.

If i feel enraged that you have such a hard time REPLYING, and then have the gall to tell me "i was too busy", does that make me unreasonable and uncaring and insensitive?

or does that just make you a ogress ?

Just reply "i dont want to talk to you" , your stupid mindgames give your gender a bad name! (and i know GOOD people of your gender, not to appear biased or sexist or anything)

i know that i matter less than anything in your world, but do you HAVE to rub it in so ?

--

i realise you are busy, you have your work to do, and your friends and your life.

but am i not your friend too ? am i not part of your life?
