Dilemna Of Anthony

I read and heard the letter that was written by Anthony. There are several things that need to be changed. This letter appeared to be very sexist and I can understand the annoyance of his classmate. Also, he is a business person and does not appear to be that with the style of his letter.

The correspondence is address as “Hi Guys” which is chauvinistic to start. The letter should be addressed to “Classmates” or “Fellow students” or something along those lines. “Hi guys” implies that the men in the class are more important than the females. Or, that there are no females in the class.

Second, the first couple of lines address a presentation made by a female business professional. He said that he thought it was go to be “corny” and he was “surprised” by the good points she had. As a female, I am interpreting this that he thinks woman are corny and rarely have valid, good, beneficial points. He could have said “I attending a meeting about business etiquette and there were some very superlative tips.” Moreover, there is no need to mention that the presenter was a female.

Additionally, when speaking of the managers in the firm, he said that the managers and their wives were attending the luncheon. He also said he wanted to speak and show his good manners with the “Good Old Boys.” There is no evidence to prove that all the managers are men. This could have been avoided by simply saying that the managers and their significant others attending the picnic and he wanted to impress them.

Lastly, I noticed he used the proper term when he said that “his boss” was telling him how impressed everyone was. Perhaps, his boss is a female and subconsciously he is trying to hide this in
