> is it really surprising that women in circa 1970 Atari can tolerate a sexist work environment? Literally, by all accounts, they liked it and did not view it as problematic. They didn't just "tolerate" it. And honestly the correct adjective is probably "sexualized" not "sexist." > You devalue the views of people in 2018, but they're the ones looking in from the outside. They have a level of objectivity because they know the alternatives. They're looking at it, and saying "this would suck." No, they're not any more objective. If they were, they'd take the testimony of the people who where actually there more seriously, seeing as those are the facts. Instead, we get contemporary subjectivity passed off as the objective truth. The 2018s are aslo in a sense violating these Atari women by taking away their right to characterize their own experiences and lives. The most interesting aspects of this part of Atari, by far, are left unexplored because we can't escape the rubric of 2018 gender discussions. > I'm a lawyer, and I've worked for women of the generation where... Did any of those women work for Atari by chance? As a lawyer you should know that you can't pull random facts out of one case to "prove" another. We are not talking about a generalization about "women of a generation," we're talking about Atari in a specific time period.
