Comment on The most alienating thing that happened to me as a female engineer

Comments

I'm a girl, and let me just say that if someone wanted to watch Friends, I'd laugh at them too. Have we considered that the show is just stupid and everyone there knew it except OP? Look, there's no accounting for taste, but if I watch something that no one else on my team watches, but they all watch something else, I would not consider that to be alienating. I also wouldn't make them change the channel. I would, however, make fun of baseball the entire time I was sitting there watching it, because I hate it, and all my co-workers will tell you how much I enjoy making fun of sports. They are never offended by this. They find it amusing. And we all get along just fine.
