If you have been assaulted in a work-related environment, the freedom to switch to another job and be sure it won't happen again there.
Poor understanding of probability and logic in general.
The freedom to attend a technical conference without fear of sexual assault.
The freedom to walk on the street without fear of getting struck by lightning. Really? Also, there is no law against attending a technical conference as a female without fear of sexual assault. You might want to check your definition of freedom, too.
The likelihood that you will be able to share a hotel room with another member of your company, without fear of unwelcome advances or sexual assault.
Oh, we should make it a crime to make advances. But only if a man makes them. That ought to restore equality
!
The ability to view your career in the male-dominated industry as just a normal stage of progression in life, rather than a serious financial gamble that may put your future in jeopardy if you invest in an education and are never hired due to resistence. Too much time spent fighting "glass doors" and not succeeding will lengthen resume gaps and periods of unemployment and result in loss of wages and opportunities that would accumulate over a lifetime, resulting in an impoverished situation in later years. Poverty is closely linked with living in unsafe neighborhoods and illness.
Right, because that certainly doesn't affect males. Also, capitalism is a game where the only way to win is not to play.
Not being warned that there will be a backlash if you stand up for your rights.
Not being perceived as wanting to "start a fight" when you stand up for your rights, thereby losing support from observers.
OH-MY-GOD, the speaker just referred to the audience as ,,guys''. Heads will fall
! What, he
also picked an image that might be interpreted as sexually suggestive as a sample image for his image processing conference
! That mysogynist pig, he must die
!
The freedom to have a closed-door discussion without worrying that this is an attempt to isolate you to carry out an assault. (See also: Othering)
The entirety of male programmers are to blame for the behaviour of a few idiots with boundary issues, be sure to punish them daily with ,,check your privilege'' enraging idiocies.
Not having your complaints about personal safety being dismissed as "Well, you chose to be there," in terms of being in a male-dominated environment, where your gender is not supposed to belong anyway.
What do you suggest, allowing the carrying of loaded firearms for members of the unfortunate gender so that they can feel a bit safer? Or perhaps enforcing a 1:1 male-to-female ratio
(because fuck people outside the gender binary) which will
inevitably drag in incompetent members of the non-dominant gender?
Third-wave feminism - fighting illogic and idiocy with more illogic and idiocy since 1983.
