This is a prime example of why patriarchy is hurting men too, because what this guy is saying boils down to:
- We can make them work at any hour of the day because who cares if these guys have any life outside work?
- We don’t have to do any work management, we just call those guys
- We can send them wherever, whenever
- We can create a toxic work environment and it’s okay to treat guys like shit
- And those guys don’t even complain because they need this job so bad
Isn’t it great?
The statement about “workplace laws” is so telling: Yeah, who cares about treating men with respect and dignity!?
It’s not just about discriminating against women, it’s also about mistreating men. That’s what patriarchy is at its core: Pit men and women against each other and then reap the benefits. It’s a “divide and conquer strategy”.Exactly my impression. And my response? Fuck that shit.
So I heard a bunch of sexist shit (about men and women simultaneously which is very impressive) that aligns perfectly with my biases, but I wasn’t aware it’s ok to say out loud? Chat is this real?
Men are available 24/7
I‘d like you to meet Europeans some time.
“You mean men are easier to exploit.”
This. IF these generalizations are actually true it still doesn’t mean what he thinks it means. I also find the bit about “being strict” particularly gross. If it’s valid workspace criticism, then there’s no laws protecting women from it. So he clearly means something more like “I want to yell and insult and be a little dictator but women might report a hostile work environment.”
