And so we’re still denying women opportunity for the sake of the comfort of men.
- MrLeftHand 7y agoDo you think this is comfort? Do you really think being afraid of accusations is a comforting situation in any way? It wouldn't hurt you to see the world through other viewpoints from time to time.
- slowmovintarget 7y agoYes. There's a whole body of language out there used to deride male behaviors in the workplace: - mansplaining: not the same as mentoring, but try drawing that Venn diagram someday. - patriarchal: Shame on men for assuming women _need_ help from them with their careers. That's a sexist assumption. Try drawing the Venn diagram for mentoring and fatherly behavior. The whole bandwagon of "microaggressions" and "unconscious bias" where people are attempting to solve for thought crime gets us here, where it is safer to disengage.
- DuskStar 7y agoI don't think you're disagreeing with the GP here.
- slowmovintarget 7y agoI'm stating agreement with the post I replied to, yes.
