"White men"(sexist and/or racist old dicksack) need to "walk on eggshells"(can no longer say racist and/or sexist thing in a corporate environment).

I hate that I remember how to speak Fox News.

Only bigots are afraid to "speak freely" at work. I speak freely all the time, and at work, you just have to not be marginalising or belittling or degrading someone else while doing it.

Jesus christ. I saw a thread in some other community the other day about Women's Stuff and the men wah-wah-wahing like little babies about this sub were ridiculous. Same thing - in that thread some man was saying that when he replied to threads here he felt like he had to walk on eggshells.

You guys, all we want is one tiny corner of lemmy to ourselves. Somewhere we can talk about things that uniquely affect us -or- perhaps they affect men too but they affect us in a unique way due to our gender. And many men are cool with this concept and generally supportive (and a sincere thank you to those guys!) but a significant number are butthurt little babies about being unwanted here.

Those are the same butthurt little babies in the Fox News poll. If you can't keep it civil in the workplace I don't know what to tell you other than you're a low-quality human. Have some fucking empathy.

Edit: here's the post I was talking about.

Walking on eggshells = not able to say dumb racist shit without getting called out.

So they think me demanding that they stop talking about my body in sexual terms is walking on eggshells. Entitled fucks.

This sort of shit is why when my husband offered, I went with stay at home housewife. The pay might be only in love and caring but at least no one feels entitled to my emotional labor or my physical labor or my mind or my body or my sexuality.

Afraid to speak freely about what?

This reminds me of a former colleague. He'd always complain that he can't say anything at work anymore and humor is forbidden. Examples were: Our suppliers don't issue bikini model calenders anymore, even though that was some harmless fun! Also hanging up bikini model calenders is not allowed anymore! It was just some harmless fun. And back then female colleagues didn't complain when you told them to make coffee for you. They are so uncooperative and easily offended nowadays!

walking on eggshells

Translation: considering who you're speaking to when you speak to them.

Even 8 year olds know that you should think before speaking.

I work with a bunch of white men, and I'm definitely the one who has to walk on eggshells.

White men around my job site freely walk around with MAGA hats. The only eggshells I see are beneath those who would talk to them.

If you're a white man who feels like they have to walk on eggshells at work because of that white male identity, you're pretty fragile. I'd hate to see you have to navigate the same social norms that non white males have to. You'd fucking crumble.

Can't spew hate anymore without someone going 'that's not nice'. Political corectness gone mad.

Im a man.

No we dont walk on eggshells. I walk on shoes.

Just one question to you women here. If you are trying to understand how men feel, wouldnt it be better to allow us in the community?

I dont think you will gain much insights talking about us rather than to us.

I hope they cut up their feet real bad.

Every time I start to feel bad for these men, I remember every time I was either victimized or made to feel uncomfortable on purpose and I no longer feel bad about it. I think there is an aspect of me that is able to sympathize, but a bigger part is fucking bitter and wants to see them get a taste of their own medicine.

Note to the men reading this, you can upvote comments you agree with freely.

Remember, the comment section on every internet post about feminism only goes to show, um, how provocative this kind of rhetoric is.
