It’s a scary thought. Imo, it’s like being the one-eyed person in the land of the blind. I can see, and therefore it’s easy to forget that not everyone can. Worse – most people can’t, I think.

I’d be willing to bet that whoever wrote the piece thought it was a totally reasonable and logical article to write because everyone just accepts that it’s a man’s world, men are the standard and therefore everyone must do whatever men find acceptable if they are to be taken seriously.

The message is clear – It’s not the patriarchical bullshit aatmosphere that needs to change (it is, in fact, never even acknowledged) – it’s women. It’s always women’s responsibility to make life comfy for men.

Ugh.

I think it’s much much worse than that. I think they fully believed they were being fair minded and intelligent. They’re to oblivious to know how sexist and idiotic this article is. For ABC, it’s simple – everyone know’s this is a man’s world and so women wishing to succeed in it must be informed as to what pleases their masters.

“What kind of message are you sending with your article on women’s breasts in the workplace? The suggestion that women should pad or minimize their breasts in order to achieve a “professional” appearance as judged by the corporate world sends entirely the WRONG message: that it is women’s bodies, and not the sexist values of the work world, that are in need of reform.”

Seriously, ABC is officially On Notice.

My suggestion for new content is ANYTHING THAT IS NOT SEXIST BULLSHIT. Are you serious? “How to show off breasts best in the office?” I’m going to show off my skill and expertise in the office, thanks.

Who cares what size breasts are “best perceived by men in the office?” Don’t we have enough sexual harrassment already? Men in my office who want to perceive my breasts can just take themselves straight to court. I’ll meet them there.

Nice how they didn’t even show any WOMEN the boobs. I mean, who cares what WOMEN think looks more professional.

Oh, Roy said that.
