articulatebitches: lierdumoa: lierdumoa: dirtydarwin: thentheysaidburnher: All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no. read it again and again Understand that this applies even to non-sexual situations. Women are more likely to be asked for favors from coworkers. Regular “can you file this for me” / “can you cover my shift” / “can you finish up this paperwork” workplace favors. Men are less likely to return those favors. Women are more likely to be seen as “difficult to work with” if they refuse to do favors when requested. Being viewed as ungenerous has negative social and professional consequences. So yes, even gay men benefit. All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt, not just physically, but also socially and professionally, for saying no to anything at all.

All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no.

All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no.

All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no. THIS^^^

» Ok, you got me. YOU GOT ME. I just absolutely love when people shoehorn guilt into an entire subgroup of diverse people so let’s take a look at these *sources* of yours:

“Women, Work and the ‘Girl Scout Tax”

“We communicate to girls a host of things they “should” be: nice, neat, well-behaved. Fine virtues to be sure, but why do we make them a bigger priority for our girls than our boys?”



“But Cole has no social skills,” my boss said, looking confused. “Then running the conference is perfect for Cole – he’ll have to learn.” My boss smiled broadly. Cole ran the conference I got to focus on money-making work and lost nothing from saying no – and maybe gained a few points for pluck.”

» Wow! It’s almost like the patriarchy doesn’t exist and women are actually only seldom punished for saying no on sexist grounds. IT’S ALMOST LIKE YOU SHOULD JUST GROW SOME BALLS OVARIES LIKE THE REST OF US ADULTS.

“Gender Differences In Propensity to Do Favors”

“We find systematic and persistent gender differences, as women as 50 percent more likely to do the favor than men. This difference is supported by evidence from a survey of MBAs. When asked to think of a work-related favor that they would rather have declined, women were far more likely to report that they in agreeing to do the favor felt pressured, found it difficult to say no, and that they were worried about the consequences of declining.”



» And? If that were to be true (which I’m very skeptic of) that would only prove it is a problem women have and not that it was caused by men and their “ implicit patriarchal norms”.

“Female Coworkers More Likely To Be Asked For Favors But Still Less Appreciated For Helping”

“Women experience a variety of other forms of discrimination, both subtle and outright. A third of women workers surveyed in August reported experiencing discrimination based on their gender, with 31 percent saying they would be paid more if they were men and two-thirds saying professional women are scrutinized more than their male peers. In fact, 71 percent of women say that being paid less than men is a “big problem” and 60 percent said they have a harder time getting ahead. Another recent survey found that a full 15 percent of women report being passed over for a promotion because of their gender.”

» Quoth the Tyga: POLL POLL CITY BITCH. POLL POLL POLL CITY BITCH.

Can you actually find me proof that isn’t based on the unverified opinions of random people?

“The gender pay gap is all too real and virtually impossible to escape.”



» Stop with the pay gap bullshit; its effect is not only far more subtle than what you are twisting it as but you also can’t prove that it is men or society’s fault. Continue to propagate this false idea and I might just have to manhandle you with my mustache . While drinking scotch. While grilling some steaks.

“Men Are Less Likely To Be Asked Favors In The Workplace, But Get More Appreciation For Helping“

“Flynn examined two employees at different companies and found that women were more likely to be asked for help than men. Women were also more likely to agree to help out.“

» What stunning statistical evidence.

“A study released in August found that women felt they have experienced discrimination in the workplace based on gender, with 31 percent claiming they haven’t received a pay raise because they are more harshly scrutinized than their male coworkers.

Another study found 60 percent of women feel they have a harder time getting by than men.”

» Same garbage studies that your other *sources* contained. It’s such a shame that in the real world we process and analyze objective measures and not feelings and opinions.

3/10 you tried.
