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.
In response to that question, he was, and his hypothetical solution was to ban makeup. “How about no makeup?” He did walk it back because it’s stupid, but he kept saying that men don’t know what the rules are, whatever that means, but not sexually harassing someone is incredibly easy. The rules are clear. If someone tells you that your behavior makes them uncomfortable, then you stop. If you don’t stop, then they report you to HR. The rules are very simple and easy to follow.
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.
Usually he rambles on trying to squeeze in as many buzzwords as he can.
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.
I know, some workplaces are shitholes, and that needs to change. It’s easier to enforce proper conduct in individual workplaces than it is in the streets of Detroit.
