On the other hand, I've worked with an astonishing number of men who live in a state of rather tortured denial of the outsize challenges women face in the workplace. I've even known a couple of women who deny it. It's even more stupefying than those who insist that racism is a solved problem in America.

I'm not sure where it comes from. Personal experience, background must be important factors. But it strikes me as a fairly activist, difficult position to take. I think some of these folks think they are just fitting in by voicing denial and anger about patently obvious forms of sexism. A lot of it comes from political group identification, too.

"It's even more stupefying than those who insist that racism is a solved problem in America."

disagree w/ that statement, in that i'd say it's equally stupefying. but yes, otherwise totally agreed.

I hear you. It's hard to understand, but at least I can imagine how someone could reach that conclusion.

But I've known full well that men had a better deal since I was 10.
