Gender is just a grammar thing anyways.

I have no problem with ditching the grammar rule as a synonym for sex.

So from now on men and women should really only refer to sex, and that’s fine. People don’t have genders anyways, words do.

I have a question. If not having diversity and inclusion training is a ‘fascist overhaul of the curriculum’ …. Assuming that’s true ….

Does that mean that I grew up in a fascist west? Before diversity and inclusion were a thing anyone talked about?

I don’t understand how fascism just POPS into the discussion. Am I considered fascist, educated and born into a fascist regime?

I’m from the 80’s. It didn’t feel fascist to not grow up with diversity and inclusion classes

Table dancing joke is not appropriate, at all

Or I’m responsible for the women on my team and don’t tolerate a culture of anything less than professional

Joke marketing/publicity thing

Sounds kinda racist, bro

Just say what it actually is. There are an inordinate amount of creeps in tech

This was really weird to read. Self harm like this is normally associated with pretty severe mental illness.

Like what did she think they were going to do if she called in sick? Beat her up? Definitely a strange part of the story.

She probably should have kept that part to herself

You’re just learning how to become an adult

Sounds normal to me, growing up brings a lot of changes and responsibilities that you aren’t used to. We all go through it and find our way.

I’ve been in the workforce for 30 years. I’ve never seen anything even close to this happen anywhere I have worked, I haven’t heard stories about it from my friends either.

But we aren’t tech bros.

The circumstantial evidence seems to suggest that the tech industry has a big problem with this kind of sexual assault and sexual harassment. Why? I have no idea.

But that industry needs to take account of this and hold themselves to a higher standard. Getting support for this is probably hard for lemmy users because many of them are probably tech bros themselves and possibly blind to this sort of thing happening in their workplaces too.

Def seems like the rumblings around tech culture and sexism has some teeth though

Tech bros being sexist, gropey scumbags

I’m shocked

In my memory, the first time I heard this idea was back in 1995 with the book “Angels Don’t Play This HAARP”
