Epistemic status: Speculation. An unholy union of evo psych, introspection, random stuff I happen to observe & hear about, and thinking. Done on a highly charged topic. Caveat emptor!

oh boy

But… I mean, think of a bakery of all (straight) men.

Then think of the same bakery, but it's all (straight) women.

Then imagine the same bakery, but it's mixed sex.

Can you see what happens?

no, not really. bakeries you say?

Even if there's no attraction going on in the last case, the fact that there could be dramatically changes the unspoken dynamics. It's just not as stable as the other two.

Things like… if a man notices a female coworker struggling with a flour sifter, and he comes in one day with a device he purchased to help her out… it raises questions that just wouldn't have arisen if the two coworkers had been the same sex.

oh. ok. flour sifters, man, yeah, those things are crazy.

“with a device he purchased to help her out” is such an extremely load bearing sentence in there

The whole goddamn example is batshit, but that one really did it for me

It continues to amaze me these people are real

I'm picturing some kind of flour-sifting Juicero-type smart device

It sifts the flour in all the right places, if you get his hint.

Its $700, looks like it was engineered by NASA and does the same amount of work as squeezing your hand?

also, if you do this in a bakery you’ll probably get written up for violating food service regulations cause you brought in a random consumer-grade prep item that could’ve easily contaminated everything with bacteria or allergens. plus if you procure the item through work, everyone gets to use it instead of just you and the coworker you’re trying to fuck on top of a birthday cake???

but “I got written up for an obvious health code violation” hits a lot different from “woe is men, everything is sexual harassment now”

whenever I hear the "everything is sexual harassment now" from some of these fuckers I think of the joke:

"what's wrong?," asks the doctor.

"something bad - everything hurts" says the patient

"show me"

the patient touches their finger against their thigh, their foot, their neck, and their forehead - evidently wincing with every time

"...you have a broken finger" says the doctor
