--- Quote from: tooki on February 10, 2020, 02:08:45 pm ---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... --- End quote --- There's some people around (like the mother-in-law) that I can phone while browsing the internet or whatever. But don't expect me to remember what she said ... Otherwise fully agree on open office plans and so on. Sometimes my subjectively felt productivity loss due to all these disturbances is 100% (or even more, since sometimes I start to hate all the crap around me at some point). |

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. --- End quote --- 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. --- Quote from: EEEnthusiast on February 10, 2020, 07:14:55 am ---Discussion closed.... :scared: --- End quote --- :-DD 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. --- End quote --- In certain areas of the world, I'm afraid this is the case :( Unfortunately more and more persons of this belief are being imported to our country here at the moment, with a tragic rise of problems :'( ITS NEVER THE VICTIMS FAULT. PERIOD! |

PERIOD! --- End quote --- I’m half Latin American, so I’ve (sadly) had some exposure to cultures that are more chauvinistic than I prefer. But the fact that it’s cultural just proves that the behavior is still something that is taught and learned, as opposed to an insurmountable genetic non-negotiable. |
