And yet they are not. Why not?
> Maybe business culture with its rigid and often stupid conventions and demands has a lot to do with it.
If we look at the history of these groups in the US, Occam's Razor points to simple bigotry as an explanation.
- _3u10 5y agoI’ve never had an issue with it. Well I’m not a woman but as for the rest of it it’s never been an issue. The only time it’s even been mentioned is that when traveling by bus in Texas in 1999 that I should make sure I take my ID with me when leaving the bus just incase there’s ICE around. My experience has been that people largely create their own problems, right now I’m in a very catholic country and looking for a cross necklace. It’s just to avoid people asking me if I believe in God which I don’t care to talk about. Blend in and you’ll have 100x less problems. Your work likely doesn’t care who you’re banging but is going to care if you want to talk about your relationship all day instead of business.
