School district to hear from public after superintendent candidate lost job for greeting 2 females as 'ladies'
Story by Danielle Wallace • 2h ago
A school district in Massachusetts will host its first public meeting Monday since a superintendent candidate reportedly
lost his job offer for addressing female colleagues as "ladies."
Dr. Vito Perrone previously told the Daily Hampshire Gazette that he was offered the position as the head of Easthampton Schools on March 23 but later notified that the job offer had been withdrawn over his choice of salutation in an email to negotiate his salary with School Committee Chair Cynthia Kwiecinski and executive assistant Suzanne Colby, both female.
Kwiecinski reportedly interpreted his
"ladies" greeting as a "microaggression,"
according to the newspaper. Kwiecinski later told the Gazette that most of her fellow committee members believed it was
"extremely unprofessional" and "inappropriate"
of Perrone to address the chairperson "with a familiarity that he had not earned."

This was his "welcome" to the school and the position. Can you imagine that? Not only is this out of order, but to terminate someone before they even really had a chance to get started because of something this trivial, speaks volumes. They didn't even give this gentleman the benefit of the doubt or ask him about his side of the story, (not that there's really a "story" worth telling).

- There is nothing creepy about being referred to as a lady. It's classy.
- I am not a grandma. But if it makes you feel better to think so, then by all means, go right ahead. You do you, boo.

What the hell are we supposed to call women then? It's? If we live in a society where someone doesn't like being called a lady,can't they politely correct the offending person.Fuck society in general.

Given the context, this was how he addressed a group of women, he couldn't even have said, "you women." That sounds creepy and worse.
I honestly have no idea because being a lady is something many women aspire to. Should we go back to when men referred to women as broads and dames?

Fugazi thinks that because he's more feminine than most women he gets to decide for them.
