Its kind of disappointing to figure out that as we get older some people just stop evolving and suddenly I have old white man friends
I got into a "raised voices" (aka almost screaming) match with one of them last weekend while pleasantly chit chatting while drinking delicious Riesling. And then somehow the whole sexism/sexual harassment topic came up. And it only took him minutes to say a full list of terrible un-woke statements that just made me so fucking mad.
Examples:
"well I have a solution: women should have just said something and it would not happen anymore"
"oh so I can't give my coworker compliments about her pants anymore?"
"well how am I supposed to hit on a woman anymore? e.g. when I sit on a couch with her and go for a kiss is that harassment now?"
and then the highlight
"well we had to let go a woman at work and then she suddenly claimed sexual harassment"
I knew he votes conservative (for Apia: FDP) but I really thought he was better than that.
