I live in northern Canada and kinda have to do the opposite to keep my job. When I talk about my wife I call her my wife and I use gendered language mostly. These guys are old school and I once heard them talk about someone who applied to work there, but they went and saw on Facebook that a year ago he had long hair and had it died blue and looked like a girl. They didn't even give him an interview just because of that, and they spent a good minute laughing amongst eachother about how much of a pussy that guy must have been.
That sounds like an internal problem at your company.
I'd say they should fix that, but we both know they won't.
You gotta do what you gotta do, to pay the bills.
That's pretty much it. They run the show and it's because the owner knows he could never replace the crew with cheaper labour than he has now.
