One such experiment

Its cultural and believe different, nor each sides will have common ground, and this argument is going no where.

To be honest, sometimes and "personally", I find that certain beautiful women's eyes are sexy.  :P

So back to your arguments, I guess you are one of those strong believers that female/women should must dress like these.





Ok, enough, I am out of here.

They're virtually all like that now, and it's probably more than a 20% drop, at least for people who are coding and doing other things that require concentration. The only reason I'm able to tolerate it is that I can work from home several days a week so that's when I get most of my work done. It's always some non-technical extrovert who decides the open plans are wonderful. They always buy into the BS buzzword "collaboration" too, I've come to hate that word. There are situations where it's helpful to sit around a table and work on something together but the majority of the time everyone puts on headphones and tunes out so they can get work done. Study after study shows that employees hate open layout offices, face to face communication drops and online messaging greatly increases and yet the benefits are still touted as the fad continues to spread. It's a fad like any other, I'm hopeful that eventually someone will reinvent private offices.

1000% agree with everything you said. It’s strange how no amount of counter evidence seems to stem the flow.

And then the move to “hot desking”, where you don’t even get an assigned desk, but instead have to work like a nomad, looking for an empty desk like a student trying to find a free computer in a library... mind bogglingly stupid, when you consider the time wasted on desk setup/teardown every day, not to mention things like how chair adjustment and desk height need to be carefully adjusted for proper ergonomics, and that can’t happen if you’re at a different desk every day.



At the web/usability agency I used to work at, my boss was one of those people who could write an email while discussing an unrelated topic with you verbally. She could not wrap her head around my need to focus on one thing at a time, and would barge in with non-urgent BS, breaking my concentration. As if having other people’s conversations around weren’t bad enough...

Casinos employing hot women is one of the reasons to exploit this. Are you going to shut down all casinos, because they use this behaviour of men to their advantage? Or tell them to have a less revealing decent dress code. 

I am not supporting this kind of behaviour, but just stating the facts... somethings are hard wired in human beings to support evolution. Just by artificially creating rules, those hard wiring cannot be undone.

You've basically been arguing that men cannot, and should not, control their urges. That’s complete rubbish.

Nobody is saying that biology doesn’t influence us, it does. But we also aren’t animals who cannot control themselves in any way. Heck, you can even train many animals in self-control, as the pictures of dogs with bacon on their snouts, waiting patiently until given a command, show us.

Boo hoo, cry me a river... if you express troglodytic views on sexual harassment, you can’t be surprised if people call you out on it.
