So you think women should feel okay working alongside someone who thinks they are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit?
It's not about safe spaces or offensive ideas. It's about enabling sexism and racism to freely propagate while telling minority groups that it isn't harmful despite past experience.
- mgamache 5y agoI was just pointing out the myopic hypocrisy of the complaint. Also, women are not a minority group, but I would say that if he's hired to do a job at a company he should be held to the same standards as any other employee. If he acts in ways that are outside the standards set by the company he should be fired. If the company rules don't allow for sexism, there will be none enabled. I think pre-screening employees based on their speech is a road to nowhere. I don't know where the racism part came from did I miss that in the article?
- zozbot234 5y agoWomen are a minority of workers at most tech firms.
- mgamache 5y agoRight, men are a minority in many fields (like Biology) but you would not call them a 'minority' group.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI would (and will!) definitely call men a minority in fields where men are the minority and face discrimination.
- chubbyish 5y agoExplain how this is sexist? Or did you just read the short quote.
