In my workplace, there are all managers and directors that are male. I have to meet with them periodically and they usually like to discuss why I am not married nor have kids. I try to shut it down with "I do not plan to be married". One manager shot back that I would "not last long in his house".
On 4 separate occasions my immediate manager brought his kids to the office because he was going to take them to the doctor later in the day, and left them with me to baby sit while he went to a meeting. He did not ask me before hand, he just said that he was going to be late for the meeting and if I could watch them until after the meeting and he would then take them to the doctor's office. Each time, he did not ask me, expected me to do so.
On another occasion, I had asked for a raise and my manager refused, so I went to the HR to show them that I was doing more duties than originally hired for, and showed justification of a raise. My manager yelled at me and asked why I went over him!

My manager and several other male managers have commented that I was a little "snippy" and "moody" with them "this week". Since I am an Admin Associate, I am supposed to go to conferences, but am told to "watch the office" while they are away.
I've been told that I shouldn't have any sick days taken because I do not have children. Several times I have had manager's come up to me and say "I need a woman's perspective" and start to tell a personal situation in their lives.
