MODERATORS
What do you mean "living different realities". It's the same reality where people cannot stay for themself, no matter who they are. They unhappy with their life and so want to force themself on others? They can force their head in dirt
Article talking about female surgeons and their struggles at work
“Oh by the way one in four male surgeons gets sexually harassed too”
Article keeps talking about women
Like, really what the fuck? Why is that just a small thing in the middle of the article that’s presented as barely relevant? Would it have hurt them to remove “female” from the headline and have the article talk about the whole culture, maybe interviewing a male as well?
Seriously, the double standard is ridiculous. The entire field seems to be corrupt and fucking horrible to work in, but only one side of the coin matters?
"But that's not an issue because they are living a different reality"
Seriously, those two words are what make me angry about the article mostly, not only the way too small and degrading talk about this happening to the other gender too.
'tought it out, buttercup' and other things along the same lines get (got?) pistoned into boys' minds as soon as they are (were?) able to understand it. would they even know what being on the receiving end of sexual assault is growing up? high school level jokes say that it's only assault if it comes from a source you do not specifically approve of. been a while since I've been in high school but I would imagine no significant change has happened lately? or, at least there was no significant change for the generations mentioned in the article.
point being, it's unpleasant, but different realities are, it seems, still a thing. maybe this'll get fixed in a couple more generations?
I wonder how many respondents of the traditional male upbringing were truthful in their answers (after all, admitting you were sexually assaulted is not the 'manliest' of traits in said dogma...)
Weird nitpick on the article. I could do the same for your comment
But will you?
