And I think suing the company you work for because you hate your coworkers for being men is counterproductive to the game.
It’s hilarious too because if you’ve ever worked with women, ALL they ever talk about is sex and genitalia in grotesque detail. But as soon as you overhear a man say something like that, you sue your company.
My victims aren’t victims, I’m the victim for having to put up with this! I should be making games and slapping women’s butts in the workplace, not dealing with these phony allegations!
Um… do you seriously think that women aren’t at least as “afraid of some kind of reprisal” especially in environments where they are the clear minority, even more so in higher-up positions?
Everyone hates reports of low pay and long hours, so it’s fun to pile on to Blizzard at a time like this. I think this quote is a little dangerous though. It gives the impression that harassment only comes from certain income brackets. Harassment can come from any direction and is especially dangerous from those with higher incomes because power is usually associated with those higher incomes.
No, women don’t have to worry as much as men do about reporting harassment. Because at least women know they have a twitter hashtag mob coming to their aid anytime someone cries foul.
Women get their entire lives torn to shreds when they come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct, especially by powerful men. You sound ridiculous.
Unfortunately this has turned into some kind men vs women thing. That’s not what this is! This is a professional and polite thing vs. inappropriate and inconsiderate thing. All people, men or women should make an effort to be professional, polite and considerate in the workplace (everywhere really).
In my own experience, I have found men tend to put up with or ignore offensive behavior because they have been taught that real men always want sex. This reminds me of a sociology study on sex I heard. What the researcher found was that many people’s true feelings about sex didn’t match their rhetoric, especially men. Men reported anonymously that they were way more sensitive and emotional about sex than they are willing to openly admit.
I believe men often are the victims of sexual harassment but feel pressure to put up with it. They shouldn’t have to. And women shouldn’t either.
