Some points of view exist only to create division and disunity in the name of inclusiveness and unity. Does not take responsibility and blames other classification groups. It is used to subvert nations and organizations. A war on a society is often done through language. Like demonizing certain words out of context. If you don't see what is going on at this point you really should wake up.

@asgs It was mandatory. Your name went on an attendance list.

@shoogknight I wouldn’t say toxic femininity. Just plain old prejudice.

@irene If it wasn't on an attendance list then it would be on another list.

@Oktokolo It isn’t the hill I plan on dying on. I let the crazies be crazy.
I prefer to quietly build dissent using information that can lead to an eventual coup. -
@irene doesn't matter

@shoogknight yeah I got that. I feel like asshole is too generic. It is like saying there are good and bad people.
“Prejudice” helps to identify a specific behaviour. Then when someone identify a group of people broadly and says they are a particular way we point out prejudice.
The most unproductive meeting was definitely a day long meeting about “inclusiveness” with an emphasis on toxic masculinity. It was all the dev teams for a whole day which was ballpark 40-60 devs total. Most of us were like, “We have never even had a woman on our teams to alienate.” Eventually a dev hiring manager allowed the three female devs to leave half way through because they were being repeatedly singled out by the HR lady running the meeting.
The rest of us sat through another half day of the HR lady telling us on how bad we are because we are men.
