It isn’t activism, it’s having effective HR departments at work. Men get sexually harassed too, so even if we were all being totally selfish here, this would benefit us too. Having zero-tolerance for sexual harassment won’t effect you if you don’t repeatedly make horribly unwarranted advances toward people.

I agree.

The three hours, getting dolled up, wearing sexy dresses, and god knows what else are all your additions to this. Peterson was talking about makeup in general. Even if I conceded that such behavior makes you a hypocrite, which I don’t, it’s still not representative of all working women that wear makeup.

In the full interview he doesn’t speak about ‘regular old makeup’, he refers to high-heels and sexualised lipstick, among other things.
It was also me trying to better understand what he was talking about given the context we have; the man’s annoyingly abrupt with most of his replies.

Detroit is a shithole that’s totally unsafe. We’re talking about professional work environments. That’s a false equivalence and you know it.

I don’t agree. Not all work environments are professional, safe, etc. I wish they were but they’re not. Just like I wish Detroit wasn’t a shithole, but it is. Different workplaces have different cultures, some of them pretty hostile.
