As a colored dude, it’s hard to explain. I’ve even had white folks say, “Nah man it’s not like that.”

    female run office spaces

    The worst places I have worked at had female leadership and majority women employees. The gossip and bullying was off the scale. Older ladies harassing young men was a daily occurrence and laughed at.

      The old hags in the fucking HR department at one place I worked were the most racist sexist pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of being within earshot of.

      Any group is capable of making a workplace toxic.

      Women being assholes to men has become deeply ingrained in American culture.

      Men dumb, women smart is something many men agree with while claiming to be alpha. It’s quite silly and has resulted in a form a toxicity that remains poorly defined but palpable once you’re aware of it…

        I think it’s just that people being assholes to each other has become deeply ingrained in American culture. It’s become totally acceptable to dehumanize other people for trivial reasons, on both the right and the left.
