Ladies, we are at a massive disadvantage in the workplace. Your male peers are flirting with their male bosses constantly. The average workplace is like f*cking Bromancing the Stone. That’s basically what male bonding is. Flirting. They’re flirting with each other playing golf, they’re flirting with each other going to the football, they’re flirting with each other chatting at the urinals — and, sadly, flirting with each other in after-hours visits to strip clubs and pubs. They are bonding with each other over their biological similarities. If the only way you can bond with them is over your biological differences, you go for it. Feel pressurised to actually f*ck them if you do? Then don’t flirt. Find it an easy way to just crack on? Then crack on — and don’t blame other women for doing it. .Caitlin Moran
About This Quote
The first thing to note is that this quote is sexist. The second thing to note is that this quote is wrong. It's not something women should do, let alone be pressured into. People of either gender can flirt with people of the opposite sex, and they should feel free to do so.
However, this quote implies that women are pressured into it by other women, which isn't true at all. Women are pressured into it by men, who wish to see them as sexual objects rather than as equals.
