Believe it or not, there is stuff happening that you are not aware of.
If your first reaction to hearing such things is "Well I've never seen it, therefore it probably doesn't exist", maybe some self-reflection is in order.
- khazhoux 9y agoThanks for the tip. I didn't realize other stuff happens around me. But still, there's lots of "constant murmurs" that don't pan out, and in many cases they're driven by agendas. It's easy to make or perpetuate claims when there's no attribution, no specific examples, etc. Just vague innuendos. So if some vague innuendo is contrary to my personal experience, yeah I won't believe it as fact. Kudos to these women for bringing VC sexism out of the realm of murmurs.
- tpush 9y agoSure, I'm not saying you should 100% believe everything you hear. Just that dismissing such things outright based on a lack of personal experience is also not the right way.
- khazhoux 9y agoDismissing would be wrong. Absolutely! The poster above me said (and emphasized) that when there's constant murmurs, you should _believe it_. Very wrong. Keep an open mind, but don't "believe" it outright just yet.
