It’s the Management (Free verse) by Dovina

Down the stairs we tramped floor by floor fifty to go just precaution because of some shaking. Loudspeaker says, “Go back! Earthquake over. All clear. That fire you see in the North Tower has no effect here.” Our boss man says, “Go down” so we continue remain in file choosing years of admiration over a loudspeaker. floor by floor forty to go facing upbound employees who call it a joke and say, “Go back.” Later we watch from blocks away workers for lesser bosses come tumbling down.

Your the sexist one. You only made the boss a man because the stereotypical boss is male -- a preconception that we both share, it seems. Well, not quite. The difference is that I'm aware of my prejudices, but you're not. You're too busy telling other people off for being BLATANTLY sexist to notice that you're own sexism is far more subtle, far more sinister than other peoples's's. Indeed my own mildly chauvanistic outlook on life could only be described as "charmingly old-fashioned" -- hardly the sordid, deeply rooted inferiority complex you so happily secrete. In future, I would urge you refrain from sexing your characters unless absolutely necessary, thanks. -0-
