I understand the sentiment here but can we shut up about it for five seconds? As a guy I feel like I'm walking on eggshells every time I'm around women after reading enough of these.
I feel like I'm going insane.
- Zigurd 8y agoIn a word, no. How do you think the women in tech feel? So, yeah, you can relax. Right after that problem gets solved.
- rangersanger 8y agoAs a dude I'm exhausted too. As a boyfriend and a son of a mother, I'm accepting that I'll continue to be exhausted by it until it changes. But, I'm not walking on eggshells. I'm having, and will continue to have debates with women, and more often than not, have my view expanded by the conversation. Things are changing, pretty rapidly. I hope the continue to change. Current situation is untenable for men and women, which is probably a societal improvement over situation way untenable for women. I'm also accepting that this is going to continue until men do a better job of policing men.
