The real frat people are in management (men and women). They are socially adept enough to hide their actual opinions and oppress "lower class" women and men equally.
The struggle between men and women benefits their divide et impera strategy, because playing people off against each other while maintaining an irrational authority is their main talent.
- DonHopkins 6y agoA lot of them get into management by starting out as Tech Bros, then rising to their level of incompetence. But in the case of SnapChat and Uber (and many other tech companies), the founders were literally (and archetypically) both Frat Bros and Tech Bros, who set the tone and culture for the entire company, and rampantly hired other Frat Bros from their own Frats, at all levels of incompetency. Incompetent nepotistic job placement is basically what frats are all about. (Once you get past all that other stuff that Andrew Moisey documented.) “This is what our leaders looked like when they were young.” -Andrew Moisey

- thu2111 6y agoHaving read your links, this is an absurd cartoon-like character you're painting here. I've worked in the tech industry for my whole life and don't believe I've ever met a "tech bro". Despite that, don't American universities have a fraternity equivalent for women called the sorority? Why are "bros in tech" a problem but "sorority girls in management" aren't? This is still just meaningless name calling, not made any better by the fact that it's so entirely US specific. It certainly isn't even remotely close to an explanation for the global preferences both genders express for different jobs. As I assume you're aware that in fact most jobs aren't gender balanced, most are dominated by one gender or another?
