Since this got some attention yesterday, here’s what happened (this will be a thread).

The man was trying to backtrack on this statement. She kept pressing on what exactly he meant when he said he hates working with females, and what the “like you” piece at the end meant. 1/

It’s important to note that my wife is one of the ONLY Black women in her very white male dominated circles.

After his backtracking, she said: “You’re not giving me the truth. You’re giving me nonsense. I need the truth. Give me the truth. You are being dishonest with me.” 2/

More backtracking and stonewalling from the man. Lots of “well, I didn’t mean it THAT way” from his side.

Then this fun interaction happened:

Kourt: You are being sexist right now.

Man: I don’t see how this is sexist. I was speaking from my feelings.

3/

Kourt: How would you feel if I said I hated flying with males?

Man: I wouldn’t like that.

Kourt: And why?

Man: Because I am a man, and you just made a blanket statement toward me.

Kourt: By your logic, then, how is this any different from what you said about women? 4/

Y’all, when I say there was SILENCE...he DID NOT SPEAK.

Kourt: Go on, tell me.

Man: *more silence*

Kourt: Don’t be shy; I’d also like to remind you that this meeting is being recorded and your sexism has already been on full display. You can’t save yourself now.

SHE REALLY SAID YOU CAN’T SAVE YOURSELF NOW. 💀

For about TWO MINUTES it was DEAD SILENCE on his end. Every 30 seconds or so she said “don’t worry, I’ll wait.”

She wasn’t going to let this slide. At all.

Meanwhile I’m wondering if I should call 911 to report a murder... 6/

He eventually did apologize but note that Kourt was looking for an explanation, NOT an apology.

Anyway guess who most likely has a conversation with HR coming his way because the meeting was recorded and my wife escalated this up the chain?

Enjoy your pre-Friday. ❤️ 7/7
