You’re not alone in this at all. I have two of these guys that I work with, and I feel the same way around them. Part of my issue is knowing that, based on their actions, they see women as an “other.” If they saw us as equal humans, the facade wouldn’t be necessary. This is incredibly frustrating to me as I’m one of only a few women in the office of my male dominated occupation. Seeing the other men going along with their game of make believe further concerns me that possibly a lot of the other men who I work with are also more misogynistic than I thought. If they think that Bob’s disgusting caricature of womanhood makes him a woman, than what do they actually think about women? Further, I’ve come to realize that even the TIMs who have been declared to be “the good ones” are still furthering a harmful agenda by choosing to play the game, rather than accept biological fact and, hence, are similarly at fault for this ongoing decaying of women’s rights.

On a separate note, I’m so happy that I found this community again. I just was permabanned from Reddit for a third wrongthink offense (1. Called an incel an incel on r/conservative - three day ban, 2. Referred to drag as “womanface” - week long ban, 3. Stated that biological sex was a scientific reality and couldn’t be changed) and decided to check this place out more.

I think that the majority of your coworkers are possibly just trying to get through work, unless they have started hitting on the twomen and trying to fornicate with them, maybe they don't want HR firing them for misgendering a pretend woman? 🙃🙃🙃

Reddit should be renamed WomenHated. Anyone who speaks up for womens rights gets silenced faster than a drumpf supporter. This sub is WAY better thn reddit. Unlike that decrepit hellhole, no one gets censored for talking about real science ;).
