Well, you could just use random photos instead of falling back on locker room euphemisms.
But maybe that's expecting too much.
That said, I have trouble believing this kind of behavior is unique to Facebook, or even unique to tech.
- sp332 10y agoI think the real issue was not having any women on the team, which allows this kind of behavior to continue constatnly and in the open. And you can't use random photos - the tech has to learn some kind of category of thing to recognize. [Edit: I mean if it was a one-off thing it could have been funny, but if it's yet another reminder that the company is basically a locker room, that's insulting.]
- mc32 10y agoNo women is an issue --but being on a team with women, I know they have similar tendencies to men. They also like puns and also have a sense of bathroom humor too --not that that kind of humor is something one might like to leak into the work environment, but that's what we get from today's culture In addition, in some way, this kind behavior, whether man or woman, can be a kind of subversive way to exert self and flaunt power --i.e. "I can get away with this childishness." and "I can get away with reprimanding/shaming you". Aka territorial pissings.
- mc32 10y agoTrue, they could. Altho there really should be no issue with flowers, or cats, or water, or whatever because someone might make an inference. What if I make the inference that random pictures itself _is_ a euphemism for something else?
