I started sometimes giving such braindead answers too, quickest way to get rid of undesirables.

Commenting on strangers like that is impolite in any situation, really. Hope that taught him to mind his damn business.

This seems to happen so often, with female creators getting dismissed by fans of their own work.

They can't seem to hear your ovaries. They prefer to be a d**k about it

I'd tell him I want to return it & buy it at some place that doesn't hire sexist people.

Age is just a number. IQ is a very inportant number. This guy probably had a very low important number.

why are there so many negative comments? people running out of people to make feel bad so that they can feel better about their life? tsh. nice job shutting them up tho. kudos

It's the guys who need the reality check.

But surely she was wearing it to please Hubby! That's literally her job! Amirite?... Right??... Anyone... ?

That's nice :D

lol.

So recommend them the best product.it will kill them to see how right you are!

Your coworker sounds like a massive tool.

Yes! Now that I've transitioned to male, people assume I'm a video game expert (I'm not). Crazy gender s**t.

I like you and your husband's style.

There's stupid and then there's that.

You actually ASKED for something new to read, he recommends something, then disses you for not having read it. No class...

I was in line at the supermarket last week and this guy thought he was the mayor of the line, trying to tell people where to place their carts and just running his mouth the whole time. I kept saying to myself, "not my goat, not my problem". Then he starts spouting, "It's like that song about keeping your hands to yourself by that woman from years ago" and he kept going on about it. I finally snapped. I said, "First of all, it wasn't a woman. Secondly, it was the 1986 song Keep Your Hands to Yourself by The Georgia Satellites. I actually saw them in concert back in the 80's, they opened for REO Speedwagon at SPAC." He dejectedly said, "It wasn't a woman?" I said, "No, it was The Georgia Satellites, you can look it up". He shut up after that, paid for his stuff and left. It wasn't even 8am and I was up to here with the whole situation. Charlie-up...49348d.jpg

I know a few individuals like that. It's so frustrating.

Exactly. I can appreciate and even create music without knowing who wrote or performed a song on the radio!

Well to be fair her answer could be taken either way. Sounds like he was one of the good ones.

It's very easy to confuse social awkwardness with sexism. As a professional, other coders can be very clumsy sometimes, is it wrong? yes, is it deliberate? rarely. Is it sexism, not always. Be careful snapping off those clumsy attempts at conversation starters as you'll find there won't be a second.

I would love a Hyrule Crest sweatshirt.
