1) So according to you, the entire gender is the issue. That's facially gender discrimination. I'm not sure what's so difficult about this for you to understand.

2) No. You are the problem. You have a backwards perspective that barely grants women agency, let alone treats them as equals. And you are incredibly hung up over the fact that some women ARE attractive. For most normal people, that doesn't get in the way of us working. Not sure why it's a problem for you.

You seem to have trouble with words or basic logic.

Almost every post on this thread here talks about many women making choices to sexualize the workplace. I did not say I have a problem with people with breasts. I have a problem with someone accenting their breasts, and showing the top portion of them, at work. This isn't a gender issue, it's an actions issue.

2) I do think women have agency. You're the one acting like they are soulless blobs that can't make proper decision on how to look in the work place. And I have zero problems with women, but there are all types in a company and you shouldn't ignore that.

For example, I don't steal. But I wouldn't leave a laptop on the passenger seat of a parked car. This has nothing to do with my own personal actions.

You are projecting, again. You view women’s appearance as sexualizing the workplace. And everyone else views it as them… showing up to work. The problem is in your perspective and your assessment of your female colleagues, which so far you’ve only described as being capable of focusing on their tits, their asses, and other sexual displays in the work place. It speaks to your focus and not reality. I work with women all the time and don’t have literally ANY of the problems you describe (and, not coincidentally, I also do not have your troubled view as to what women actually spend their time thinking about and doing)..

I’m not acting like women are soulless blobs. You have determined what you think is an appropriate way for women to dress (weird) and then get angry when women don’t comply with it! Not sure what that has to do with me at all, let alone my view of women, to be perfectly honest.
