The problem is those terms were all started by idiotic, selfish, sexist, racist assholes who rather not admit what they are, or fully embrace being assholes, but don't wannabe criticized when called out or proven wrong. Woke/Anti-Woke is nothing more than lie to divide and hurt people. I don't give a shit about any of that. "Woke" is used as an insult for anything that has tiniest amount of diversity. If the property in question, be it games, tv, or movies, have an all white cast, they won't complain. The moment when the piece of entertainment has more than two people of color and/or women, an entire cast of non-whites, or people not portrayed as evil or stereotypes, these assholes automatically panic, and go on the defense and on the attack. All of sudden it's "they're forcing diversity!", "they're ruining my/our way of life!", and the classic "I'm not racists/sexists, but...". Fuck them! They don't care about anyone but themselves, and want things to go back the old ways or how it used be. Racist and sexist assholes with nothing better to do, but make other miserable, because they believe it's their divine fucking right!
And that was your first mistake. Why did you take him seriously for this long? The first time I found about him in 2014, I immediately smelt nothing but toxic bullshit from him.
And why is that bad when female only boarding schools exists?
I would not say "accept it" I would say "expect it to happen and take precaution of what you are getting into which is a traditionally male dominated career"
A) Male only boarding schools also exist.
I feel part of this line of thought of "we have segregate women and men in the workplace to protect women from horny rapey guys" comes from how sensationalized the media has made accounts of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
Once more for the people in the back: men can't help sexually harassing people, so women need to be careful about what jobs they do.
Then I say find a workplace with folks that are friendly and not abusers. Try to read the room and see "hmm these guys are a bit douchey, mabye I should not associate with them" and "hey these guys are nice and friendly, I'd like to work with them"
This has been a thing long before the media started actually reporting on sexual harassment. It is a generally accepted view among conservatives especially that when ti comes to sex crimes, the victims are at least partially to blame.
That's mostly just a Poe's Law thing, that people took to the next level to abuse as an excuse to either not hire women or sort out a proper, professional work environment in their companies.
....you know that's part of the entire problem right? The fact that it's really fucking hard to find such a company? I mean it's not like they have a Yelp metric for companies on how often the women get fondled. 3/5 Grabby Hands, decent place to work! That's just not a thing that is out there.
And this is why I joke that people like Sam and Critical must secretly hate men. They have absolutely no confidence in our ability to not be raping shitheads to the point where everyone else is responsible for accommodating our moral failures as a gender. For some reason, placing the burden on victims is a more palatable answer to them than just teaching men to not fucking rape people.
I appreciate the effort but I hate Review Tech USA. He may not be as bad as the quartering, but he's still a big asshole.
This is a legitimate grievance, even though it's politically incorrect. Still it can be dealt with. However, in my mind there is one practically unavoidable consequence when a stack of nerds gets their first few female employees: some of those guys will be attracted to them and that will lead to workplace drama.
I think this is far from reality. What you're arguing against isn't there either, but you're taking it to stranger places still.
