I'm sick of working with overgrown children in our industry, who can't behave like reasonable human beings around women. It's just wrong.
I'm also sick of all-male teams put together by male managers who have decided women can't do this work.
Grow up. Drop the prejudice. We'll all be better off.
Any negative generalization about a non-white group would be characterized as racist, yet you think it's okay to make generalizations about whites.
(Full disclosure: I'm a white man)
If I had a magic wand I'd make people take training on how to relate to others, especially the opposite sex, how to develop emotional intelligence which so many of us lack. Just because you're not born with it, doesn't matter you shouldn't learn it.
"He's behaved like an asshole" isn't enough, it has to be "he behaved like an asshole; he's probably got Asperger's".
If you want to get to the root cause of this, you need to understand why that is happening. I strongly suspect that in most cases it's lack of emotional/social intelligence, and also frequently (how much is unclear) due to pathologies.
Sure, sometimes you know that what you're about to say is totally inappropriate, and you do it anyway, but I'm willing to bet that's a serious minority of cases.
In order to diagnose the problem you also need to have the relevant qualifications.
Do you?
You do nothing to understandthat actual behaviour and you stigmatise people who are neuro-atypical.
Sometimes assholes are just assholes.
"Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear demonstrations.
Kahneman and Tversky stripped the quiz down and tried again. They had students read the same profile of Linda. But then they simply asked whether it is more likely that Linda is (a) a bank teller or (b) a bank teller who is active in the feminist movement?"
Most people say (b) because they feel the need to explain Linda's social conscience.
That said, in my experience, the biggest jerks and assholes have also had excellent social skills. Therefore training people to become more socially capable to reduce the number of jerks completely misses the point.
