In olden days, there used to be macho men. Even now there are macho men. But whoever had heard of macho women? Someone had made a movie with the name 'They call me macho woman' in 1989. Other than that, there are few references to a macho woman. But now times have changed. We find macho women right at my workplace. I am not including the women security guards dressed in all black, like black cat commandos. Their uniforms incite terror in babies, but otherwise they look like other women.
I am talking about other women. There was one head clerk. I heard about her one story from other people, and read about it in the next day's newspaper. I knew this one used to be quite rude to doctors and administrative people. She was small, petite, and did not look macho at all. But probably looks can be deceptive. One day she had a disagreement with the Deputy Administrative Chief, because he transferred her to another office as disciplinary action for doing something she (in his opinion) should not have done. So she went to see him, shouted at him, and held him by his collar and is said to have roughed him up a bit. He lodged a police complaint, and after an inquiry, she was transferred to another institute. He got so scared after this episode that he proceeded on long leave to recover from the mental trauma.
Then there was another one. She was from the healthcare sector. Her ordinary speech used to be in deca- or hectobels, instead of decibels. I understand there is no unit called decabel or hectobel, but I have used these words just to make the reader understand the volume of her speech. She was always fighting this person or that, sometimes both this person and that. She had an ongoing feud with her senior. The other day she went to ask this senior for an explanation for something she alleged the senior had done. The senior got scared and screamed for help when this woman allegedly threw a paper weight at her, and when that move was blocked, settled for a pincushion. A police complaint was duly registered. Further developments are awaited.
I have not witnessed both of these acts, and know about them only through sources like the newspapers and hospital complaints. If you do not believe these stories, perhaps we can arrange to get you introduced to these macho women, so that you can antagonize them and see what happens yourself. Our emergency surgical services and trauma center have just become functional after renovation and upgrade, and that may help manage the after effects.
