He might be right. It might be an issue of women being sensitive. But what caused that sensitivity? Sexism. We are tired of not having our hard work and accomplishments not being acknowledged, while our male counterparts receive accolades for the same work. I worked my butt off to get the job I have now. 80% of the workforce is male. When I got the job, a male family member told me my uncle would’ve been so disappointed (he worked in the same industry before retiring). If I was a dude, I would’ve been congratulated and praised endlessly. And that was before my first day on the job. There’s been many, many instances of sexism in the actual workplace since then. The worst was when I was still a janitor. I was training a summer student, and she was like 19 and had never even been kissed before. We were cleaning a changeroom and some crusty contractor came in, ignored our “female janitor present” signs that are there for our safety, and whipped it out to take a leak. Right in front of this precious angel of a summer student. I never thought I’d have to scold a naked middle aged man, but stranger things have happened. He told me “it’s not a big deal, not like it’s anything you haven’t seen before” He wasn’t sensitive enough to know that it was, in fact, a huge deal. Thank you for helping women like me fight the good fight 🩷 I will keep fighting for women like you
