It's obvious to me that nearly everyone in this thread is under 40. If anyone were older they would understand it's not about being PC or triggers. They would remember how hard women had to fight to stop being the person to "get us some coffee, sweetheart?" at the beginning of meetings. How we had to demand not to be slapped on the ass, or assigned things like the office party instead of challenging, meaningful work. It breaks my heart to see women today who intentionally demean other women or themselves because they think it will play better with the men they are trying to impress. Like "not being sensitive/PC" is somehow a virtue, and not undermining the battle we are all still fighting. And now I hear the newest generation talking about "this girl at work" and they don't even hear themselves.
Thank you for this post. Ladies, we are women, not girls. This gentleman was noble to stand up for us here, but we cannot rely on men to stand up for us - we have to stand up for each other.
