Women in majority-male workplaces report higher rates of gender discrimination

The gains women have made over the past several decades in labor force participation, wages and access to more lucrative positions have strengthened their position in the American workforce. Even so, there is gender imbalance in the workplace, and women who report that their workplace has more men than women have a very different set of experiences than their counterparts in work settings that are mostly female or have an even mix of men and women.

A plurality of women (48%) say they work in places where there are more women than men, while 18% say there are more men than women, according to a Pew Research Center survey. Similarly, 44% of men say their workplace is majority-male, and 19% say women outnumber men. About a third of women (33%) and men (36%) say both genders are about equally represented in their workplace.

Easy solution, don't work with women. I certainly wouldn't hire one.

And your statement is purest example of sexism.

And your statement is purest example of sexism.

No, it's a pure example of someone who doesn't find female employment to be worth the trouble it causes. 5 years ago, I wouldn't have said that.

Now, it's all about cleaving off the insanity of society to maintain my own peace of mind.

The compromise I make for all this forced online censorship is that I will fight to the death before I censor myself IRL. So if hiring women means I have to watch what I say in my little business, that just means women don't get hired in my little business.

If you are bothered by watching what you have to say, it suggests you make many sexist and discriminatory statements. As I said, your statements are purely sexist and suggest a general antipathy toward women.

Yes, I make sexual and racial and religious and political statements. Some right, some wrong, some funny, some serious. Is that a problem?

I have a general antipathy towards women who feel the need to get men in trouble for jokes they don't like.

Fathers have to raise their daughters to not stew in toxic femininity and become helpless crybullies.

It looks like someone feels threatened by competition and feeling they are losing social position to the point that they voice intentions to use illegal hiring practices. If the workplace is for working, you shouldn't be telling sexist jokes, but it's obvious you support illegal hiring practices, so it's only a matter of time before a workplace like yours is sued, and will rightfully lose with such a poor argument for employment discrimination ("I like telling misogynistic jokes, it has nothing to do with my job, but I think everyone should be subjected to that in the work environment I inhabit.").

‘Male privilege allows men to be free to move about in public without threat of harassment. When they speak, they are assumed to have some authority without having to prove it. They still earn more money than women, on average, even in comparable jobs.” Woman, 54

Well, ‘woman, 54’ it’s a shame you got so far through life being such a moron

Men in a pack seem to have an innate ability to goad each other on to ever higher levels of stupidity. It requires an alpha male to recognize and control this.

Diversity hires are the antithesis of competition. I don't want stupid people screwing up my company because of preference given to them based on skin color or gender. The digital security chief of Equifax was a female diversity hire. Look how well that went.

and feeling they are losing social position to the point that they voice intentions to use illegal hiring practices.

The state has no business telling me who I can and not hire save extreme circumstance. I don't recognize the authority of pernicious laws that violate my basic right to freedom of association.

Certainly not to cater to people who hold me in disdain.

If the workplace is for working, you shouldn't be telling sexist jokes,

Sure, in sterile, bland, corporate cubicle world. That's not the real world.

but it's obvious you support illegal hiring practices, so it's only a matter of time before a workplace like yours is sued, and will rightfully lose with such a poor argument for employment discrimination ("I like telling misogynistic jokes, it has nothing to do with my job, but I think everyone should be subjected to that in the work environment I inhabit.").

I fly under the radar. Small business. Don't really have to worry about that.

The problem with this statement is the assumption that women and people of color are not qualified, it also makes the wrongful assumption that when white males were exclusively given preferences to jobs, they were all qualified, which we know is completely false.

The state has no business telling me who I can and not hire save extreme circumstance. I don't recognize the authority of pernicious laws that violate my basic right to freedom of association.

If you wish to implement illegal hiring practices, I wholeheartedly support the prosecution and hopefully closure of your business because it obviously is un-American and an enemy to the spirit of the US Constitution.

Certainly not to cater to people who hold me in disdain.

Judging by your statements, I would think this more projection than disdain any woman or person of color has for you.

Sure, in sterile, bland, corporate cubicle world. That's not the real world.

Yeah, perhaps this was the real world in the 1930s, but our society has evolved and moved into the 21st century where such ignorance should be left in the past.

I fly under the radar. Small business. Don't really have to worry about that.

I would love to pay a visit to your small business, I now consider myself an eager potential customer.
