I’m friends with a few nuns and it’s surprising how easy it is to tease them, and their banter amongst themselves. Maybe female executives can learn some better behavior strategies from Catholic nuns.
I’ve been involved in close-knit friends/like-a-family organizations and sterile, professional organizations. It might be fun to be ball-busting and telling racist/sexist jokes at work, but it is long-term harmful to the organization and the ability of the workers/managers to faithfully execute the organization’s mission. I also think it leads to general corruption and enablement of bad behavior, whether it’s cops protecting their own, or executives ignoring workplace misconduct (quid pro quo, embezzlement, pursuing vendettas, etc).
I’ll take professionalism any time, and I hope to see boys club mentality die out within my lifetime.
my coworkers aren't my friends.
The world needs more signal and less noise.

I'm soooo jealous, I'll never get to work alongside powerful stable men like you, ehhh
Here's a less hyperbolic interpretation: Women don't seem to like our banter, which is why they aren't successful. They need to change or leave.
I think, in context, the crypto bro reference is more relevant than it is ad hominem.
