I am really looking forward to a faithful adaptation of the book and NOT of the musical of which I’m not a fan (gasp).

Solution should be get rid of wall street instead of pretending like it has any purpose other than grift
I think there is some sort of gap where some demographic of men don’t see that effort is the baseline of what you can give. Or that not being good at something is a poor excuse to avoid doing something. And it’s like a rebuttal to life experience or something, like
Another way that I have heard the same sentiment is that men shouldn’t say or do anything to a woman that they wouldn’t want another man to say or do to them.
If we women are just too dangerous, then maybe the men need to stay at home where it is safe and not venture out into the world without a chaperone to protect their virtue.
Wow, so these guys figure it’s easier to avoid women than to, I don’t know, not act like douchebags around them? They probably shouldn’t date them either. It would be no loss to the world.
The only way to overcome this kind of societal programming is to MANDATE paternity leave. One of the Scandinavian countries is doing that. Fathers are required to take some time off after a child’s birth. Without that, if it’s just maternity leave and the option of paternity leave...the mother will take the time off…
Or because it’s hard for them to see women as humans without context: If you wouldn’t want someone saying it to your wife, don’t do it to another woman; if you wouldn’t want someone touching your wife that way; don’t touch another woman that way; if you wouldn’t want someone sending that text to your wife, don’t send…
I remember having dinner with a friend who was like “me too has gone too far, I mean, what if two people at work like each other? How are they supposed to be interact?? Is it even possible!!!?!?!” and I was like “well, you can ask them to hang out casually outside of work, maybe in a group. You can ask them out once…
My husband works in HR, a field dominated by women. His direct supervisor has always been a woman, and he says he prefers it that way. In his experience, women are less concerned with constantly displaying their dominance, and more interested in doing the work.
I mean, if you’re pathologically incapable of not harassing women, if you’re so lost you don’t even know where the lines are, yeah, remove yourself from those situations (but don’t expect others to remove themselves or other people for you). Then, once you’ve gotten lots of therapy and worked on why you’re such a…
I work in an office surrounded by women. I’m one of the very few men here. And yet, somehow I manage to treat them like normal people and not sexually harass them.
Not for nothing but the easiest solution is to just ban all work dinners and other extra-curricular activities. If it’s not during work hours, you shouldn’t be forced to spend extra time with colleagues, something that definitely is work even if your employer doesn’t think it is. Just because you can expense some food…
Oh gods, they really do think that most accusations are false or a misinterpretation, don’t they?
Seriously. My husband is a senior engineer. One of his current underlings is a woman who really looks up to him, frequently requests his opinions and guidance and they are close. They eat lunch together all the time. He also mentors and trains other new hires - both men and women. The woman he’s closest too is moving…
Men who say they don’t know how to act or talk around women for fear of being accused of something freaking kill me. They act like it’s some big mystery and there is no way to know what is wrong. I always tell them, if you wouldn’t say something to a man don’t say it to a woman. If you wouldn’t touch a man in a…
It’s weird how their primary strategy isn’t, “Maybe let’s just not be fucking creeps.”
Okay but they’ve been purposely excluding women from things forever so what’s changed now?
Easy solution: Fire any man who is uncomfortable working with women.
