Talking about the differential experiences of women vs men in the workplace and pushing for policies or support to improve the situation seem like pretty political activities to me. Just as an example of how these situations become political also, I was once at a company where an employee raised an issue that was pretty unambiguous and had multiple witnesses. The same employee was then demoted and sidelined until they eventually quit. They were well liked in the company, so a number of people quit along with them in protest. There’s no way for something like that to not be political, in my opinion. I guess it’s just not always as simple as going to management and hoping for the best. Edit: also it’s great that we view women’s right to not be harassed in the workplace as a given, but how did it get there? Decades of tireless political activism. Sure, some things people are political about seem less important, and will probably fizzle out, but IMO it’s not worth quashing the potential for real, good change for the sake of not having to deal with the things we think are unimportant.
