Even 500 Feet Away
There is some Classic terminology used by what used to be called Chauvinist Pigs that fit the modern day misogynist sexists who term women standing up for things like equal pay, and say over their reproductive decisions things like 'strident' 'bitter' 'shrill' 'feminazi' and the like. Rather than responsibly address arguments they revert to ad hominem attacks that amount to little more than gender slurs- a sort of hate speech that these characters are famous for.
When anyone uses terms like 'strident' 'bitter' 'shrill' in an office setting describing some female start taking notes and call the nearest EEO attorney. If you need to find one in your jurisdiction comment below or email Butlerlaw [at] gmail.com and someone who knows what they are talking about will call you back and help you.
Such words can create what is called a 'hostile work environment' making it much more stressful for people under verbal assault to work- under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 you can sue for hostile work environment- it is a sort of harassment, if based on gender. Those types of words support that sort of legal action. Don't put up with it. It's ignorant and you don't have to tolerate it.
