do they think white guys are all Dark Lords of the Sith?

they throw around shit like "if you have the most power" like white guys will just force lightning everyone else who tries to contribute.

If you find yourself to be the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. This goes triple for social networking "rooms".

It's like straight white dudes are the new Russians in video games. Always the bad guy because we aren't going to protest and kill people when we are, but it's still frustrating at the idiocy. If they are going to be so obviously bigoted I invite all of them to never use anything created by a straight white guy again.

Jane, talking about her cats and her nephews at a business meeting is perfectly acceptable of course.

Some people are more equal than others.

"White men should be ashamed if they happen to be objectively the most intelligent, competent and confident people in a room, because the patriarchy makes me doubt myself because I have blatant penis envy."

So... Is this why my new assistant won't shut the fuck up?

Why she'd think we want to hear her thoughts on a subject she's no experience in and interrupting the CEO and clients to throw in here 2 cents?

FFS. 2 cents is at best a rounding error. GTFO of here whilst we spend some real money on the conversation.

I liked blues responses lol

I'm pretty sure blue is the friend zoned guy.

Funny thing is there's been sociology experiments conducted by observing situations like to to see if men really do hog the lime light and talk over women. Guess what? They didn't see that happening at all.

McFeely_Smackup · 2015-12-01T20:14:34+00:00

are the white dudes "taking up space" or are they carrying the meeting while Timid Tammy facebooks on her phone?

Chef_Lebowski · 2015-12-01T22:28:45+00:00

No, person. I will NOT apologize for my skin color or my non-existent history or my gender. Fuck you. Die.

Reminds me of an exercise we had in a class I had like 6 years ago. The teacher gave us a hypothetical scenario where our plane crashed in the Arctic and we had limited supplies and no way to radio for help. We had to decide what to do to survive.

Me and like three others tried to organize things. The discussion immediately degenerated: Two of the initial "organizers" insisted that decisions had to be taken "as a group" and consulted everyone on what to do. They were voting on everything and when the vote wasn't unanimous they just argued more and more until it was just total chaos. Lasted nearly 20 minutes. Teacher was laughing her ass off the whole time.

Meanwhile, I and the other "organizer" went off on our own, ignoring the others with two or three other people. I made a list of what we had, the possible use for each, and our priorities and capacities. When the teacher stopped the exercise, the "primary group" (about 20 people) had taken about three decisions, all three of which were fucking terrible (using our only shelter to start a fire, throwing the knife away because they were scared it might be used wrong and giving all our resources away to the gravely wounded to try and keep them alive). Meanwhile, the four of us had established how to make a shelter, how to get heat, what our odds of rescue were, how to maximize them, etc.

Democracy is a piss poor system in those situations. Not everyone's opinion and experience is worthwhile.

Poor minority girl's ideas weren't as good as her evil white male coworker's :(

Abolish white male privilege and discriminate against merit for the sake of affirmative action and cultural appropriation!

CornyHoosier · 2015-12-01T18:06:35+00:00

Interesting. I learned from my mother to not let stupid people take up too much of your time.

Stalgrim · 2015-12-01T21:40:26+00:00

If it's collaborative and I'm doing most of the talking, you're not doing your part.

The_Fat_Lannister · 2015-12-02T00:42:08+00:00

It's as if they think there's no other space, and that there's a shortage of space.

Even if there was only a given amount of 'space' for humanity to be involved in, said 'space' that is higher than other peoples' 'space' must be earned, or else said 'space' is useless. For an extreme metaphor, it's like replacing a white athlete in the olympics with an overweight and diabetic Native American because, y'know. Space.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2015-12-02T00:50:18+00:00

They did most of the talking there.

Projection at its finest.

Leinadro · 2015-12-01T18:50:36+00:00

Oh so what someone says no longer determines things its just who is talking.

TheRavenousRabbit · 2015-12-02T11:07:02+00:00

I'm white but I'm also gay... So, that makes me able to speak more, right? No? I really don't know how this oppression Olympics work.

Wyld_Stallions_Rule · 2015-12-03T09:52:39+00:00

I've got a feeling that a movement of white males is on it's way to manifesting in this country.

nude_peril · 2015-12-01T17:28:16+00:00

There's not such thing as a "collaborative meeting".

Ovendice · 2015-12-01T22:27:15+00:00

White men invent and build everything and on average not just 1000 times more intelligent and inventive, but work a million times harder, as in everything around you and every invention of any significance. Why would you want to listen to someone who doesn't do anything or barely contributes? What would you even have to learn from someone like that? What, of any substance or importance would they even have to say? How they feel about something? Something they are not even contributing as much to because they're lazy? I can't think of anything I've ever learned from a female she wasn't reading out of a book.

im sure if women cherry picked guys' facebook posts they can find a lot of disturbing posts towards women.
