Subtly Sexist Things “Woke” Men Still Do
Or the office hotty
In general, I’ve noticed that men tend to treat women they work with in one of two ways: they either treat them as maternal figures who they look to for comfort and nurturing or they treat them like they are princesses on pedestals—they often mention how lucky that woman’s husband is or how she’s too good for all of them. It’s a very Madonna/Whore complex. Men can sometimes only see their female colleagues as women they aren’t romantically with because they are: A) unattainable or B) mother figures. How about it’s because they’re your…colleagues.
