Ok but, awful as this is, "you should consider it" is funny, ngl

Yeah, it's a sexist comment implying she isn't either qualified to be at the conference, or mistaking her for a passerby who is unaffiliated, and should consider working there. Either way, I don't find sexism funny. Dunno why anybody would, but hey, I'm just some guy on the internet, so you do you.

It would work fine if the target was a man too, it's just one hell of a burn. It's a shame he was using it for evil.

Burn in something else

In my case i teased a flatmate with "ladies first" when i opened the door while he passed through and he replied with "bitches next"

That is funny because the attacker (me) got payback

In her case he simply stomped on her from the start with no sense of the respect she deserves. No smart comebacks or something, only a douchebag

Without any context it or history its just kinda dickish? Like maybe a good burn to a rival in some sort of relevent scenairo but this just sounds like an attempt to belittle someone by "mistaking" them for something "lesser" then when called on it they double down?

Strikes me as grade school level bullying at best 🤷

Why “burn” someone you just met? That just makes you an asshole.

I don't think it's that funny, just a sad defense for not being able to recognize that someone belongs at the conference instead of among the customer service staff.
