Eh, are you sure? I’ve never read an exposition of a dysfunctional abusive company that wasn’t full of women in powerful positions also enabling terrible behavior.
- floatingatoll 5y ago“It’s snowing, clearly global warming isn’t real.” California recently passed a law requiring a minimum diversity threshold for corporate boards, due to how few incorporated more than a single token non-man. I look forward to arriving at a society where men and women are, as you suggest, equally present in and complicit in executive leadership and failures thereof, but we certainly aren’t there yet. It’s also worth noting that my request is directed to all men, rather than not-all men. You can take steps to stop bad men without being an executive.

- floatingatoll 5y agoWomen can absolutely be complicit, so I clearly misspoke. I apologize for my error.
- machello13 5y agoFair enough. Otherwise I think we're on the same page.
