"female is future" t- shirt in the office
A female colleague regularly wears "female is future" T-shirt in the office. I am fine with woman empowerment but this is divisive. How is this acceptable? What do women of blind think? Edit: fixed a typo
>women of blind
You’re probably one of those people who get upset with the BLM movement
I’m black and I am upset with the BLM movement.
I don't. As a white, I don't think it is devisive.
This might get you fired nowadays.
Saying “Female is the future” doesn’t imply a future without males in it, of course. By specifying “Female” here the goal is to bring the highlight to the issues women face in male-dominated industry. Just like for BLM: saying black lives matter doesn’t mean that “only black lives matter”, its goal is just to highlight the group (and their struggles) that are under more immediate impact of systematic and nonsystematic racism. If your neighbor’s house next door is burning and the fire truck rushes over to put off the fire, do you go to then telling them it’s unfair that they’re only giving your neighbor their attention? And that you too should matter to them as well? No! They need to help the one with the burning house first!
No. She's wrong. The future is intersectional.
Whatever snowflake
Tell her to go make you grilled cheese
@op and LinkedIn please go talk to them and try to understand where they’re coming from. Don’t ask them to justify themselves just be genuinely curious about them. I hope you will understand someday and be more compassionate. My internship supervisor when I was a mechanical engineer back in Texas came from NASA JPL and had a PhD from CalTech. It was so sad how people would think the opposite, both at the same company and externally. Women has to do a lot of extra effort just to exit the circles of biases formed around them.
You seem to bet a very pleasant person to deal with. Wow! Yes of course there will be people abusing the system every now and then. I just don’t understand why there is so much resistance to just putting yourself in their place and understand their struggles. Calm down please. Thank you and have a beautiful day!
THE FUTURE IS INTERSECTIONAL.
Wow. That's offensive to like, 13 other genders.
I’d report it to HR. If they don’t care, wear “make is future” T-shirt.
How is it divisive? Because there is no female in your future?
Delet this
Thanks for implying that "male is future" is not divisive either by the same logic! That's probably not what you think about male is future, but thanks anyway.
