Now the girl all of a sudden is behaving in an aloof manner and avoiding guys and not sharing notes. She got brainwashed by the gang. I think it’s pretty mean of the gang tbh. ☹️ The whole point of college life is to help each other out. We share movies, Uber rides, food and treats etc. We help each other during medical emergencies etc. We are away from home and live together like a family. So why this unnecessary politics? Just to clarify, I have nothing against feminism. But I don’t see why it’s being brought in here.
Do you know what this kind of entitlement looks like a few years later in the workplace?
1. Expecting women to take notes in any meeting (because she has nice handwriting, because she always does it, because she's the responsible one, etc.) All of these are lazy excuses for your privilege and entitlement. If she has nice handwriting, remember that it is because she was socialized a certain way from birth since she is a woman, and because she is putting in actual effort. Please step up and be better than the generations that came before you.
2. Expecting women to do all the emotional labour like remembering people's birthdays, organizing events at work, doing anything that involves caring for people (again, because women are "naturally caring" or they're just better at it than men) This is also a pathetic excuse, please do better. This happens even if there is a designated HR in an organization.
Do you think you're a senior advocate in litigation who can take notes from a junior and just get by without doing the grunt work? How on earth can you be so entitled as to expect some girl to give you notes? She pays attention, she puts the effort into transcribing it into notes, and then some guys expect them for free because of their gender. Please do better, this behaviour is disgusting.
The fact is that men and women are biologically different and each is suited better for different things.
leave that- why do you want to lose your opportunity to learn by using anyone elses notes?
You poor out of date wannabe woke!
