Maybe you'd get some odd looks from some coworkers at first, but that's hardly discrimination.
You're equating equality with equality of outcome, instead of equality of opportunity.
Hopefully you're just doing that for argument's sake ;)
There is no clear line between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity. What part of societal pressures don't you understand?
If you are told from an early age that you will become a housewife, guess what, you will most likely become a housewife.
You literally saying that women are just choosing not to be leaders and high payed professional because of their biology.
Or if you want to back up on your words and acknowledge that societal pressures and expectations apply, you then kind of have to acknowledge that those expectations create inequalities.
"Maybe you'd get some odd looks from some coworkers at first, but that's hardly discrimination."
THIS IS EXACTLY FUCKING DISCRIMINATION.
Having a bigger entry barrier to a profession because of your gender is the absolute definition of discrimination.
How on earth can you say with a straight face that having to worry about odd looks because of your gender in a profession is not discrimination? Disgusting
Hopefully you can make some wibbles threads about this topic, community manager ;=)
