More than half of the female respondents said they weren’t taken seriously because of their gender, one in three had experienced delayed career advancement, and nearly half said they had not received credit for their ideas. Almost half said they had encountered flirtatious or sexual remarks, and one in five had experienced uninvited physical contact.
Here, at their most glib, the high priestesses of feminist grievance take their stand: "flirtations and sexual remarks", "uninvited" physical contact.
How, I wonder, would you know if you were not being taken seriously because of your gender or because you are inane?
Assume nothing. In a scientific test of these theories you would need to establish some kind of baseline, a control, to measure "taken seriously" against. How do you know you are not just wrong and incoherent?
I certainly wonder how many uninvited physical contacts I would personally experience in an average day. I don't mind the physical contacts, a woman patting my arm, a man offering a pat on the shoulders. Sometimes, it's an expression of "way to go" or "careful, I'm crossing behind you". They are always uninvited. I never invite anyone I work with to make physical contact. Nor do I ever mind if they do.
