My sister is much younger and she gets more respect. I think it's because I'm blond. And I also look very Russian.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-16077285572710011472009-07-12T18:40:21.410-04:002009-07-12T18:40:21.410-04:00---I hope I wasn't offensive about that.

I love great put-downs, and...Delightful, Clarissa! I love great put-downs, and that's one of the best I've heard.<br /><br />I was always cursed to look much younger than I really was (I don't look at it that way now, of course). Once when I was a 22-year-old attack helicopter pilot (and undoubtedly very full of myself) we had an inspection to mark the arrival of a new commanding officer. It was one of those relatively rare occasions when officers also stood in formation. The new CO came down the line greeting each officer, and when he got to me, he said, "Who are you, the company mascot?" I probably looked about 16, but still.... Needless to say, that made life among my comrades miserable for a long time.Tom Carterhttp://opinion-forum.com/index/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-59279185959618815572009-07-10T16:41:52.816-04:002009-07-10T16:41:52.816-04:00I TOLD YOU ,MAN, YOU GOTTA WRITE BOOKS (NON-ACADEM...I TOLD YOU ,MAN, YOU GOTTA WRITE BOOKS (NON-ACADEMIC I MEAN).

One of my professors routinely introduced me to other professors and even to the Dean as "our Russian beauty." Not only am I not Russian (which he knew), I didn't join that department in the capacity of "a beauty" but rather as an esteemed colleague.<br /><br />"On top of people not believing I am a professor, nobody believes I am my daughter's father...

That was good...
Maybe because I have se...A-a-a!!! That was good...<br /><br />Maybe because I have seen enough female professors in my life, it did not occur to me that you do not look "professorial enough"...<br /><br />But I understand very well how you feel. You know I do not look professorial either. In part because I do not look my age... On top of people not believing I am a professor, nobody believes I am my daughter's father... And I am not bragging here, because it is really annoying, especially because gender stereotypes do not support men looking younger than their age...<br /><br />V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
