self selecting for meekness in hiring practices

This is 100% the idea

Theres also the not inconsiderable side effect that the person who is going to be most easily pilloried in the media and most likely to go to prison or be sued into usury here is Aella. She's essentially become Ghislaine Maxwell but with a paper trail and incorporation documents.

i’m not even conspiracy pilled enough to think this is the goal but it’s definitely the result.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com·2026-09-27T18:37:11.011Z#
It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just a bog standard thing sexist men have been doing to women in the workplace for ages.

It’s “we will tolerate women in our workplace, but only if you’re not a uppity bitch who cramps our style”

These people must be made to suffer for their sins

i’d be happy with total redistribution of future sin earmarks

I had a knew a lady who had been made first female partner at her firm. The partner's lounge was male only, though. But - she would be allowed if she sat on the lap of one of the male partners.

Anyway she fucked off and started her own firm. She hated the drinks after work culture and made sure her employees understood that was not part of the job.

GROSS and good for her!

Only for the women tho!
Peter Swimm@peterswimm.com·2026-09-27T17:12:53.779Z#
you’d be surprised! I think there is a different kind of complicity they groom in their cis male colleagues that also make fighting against this behavior a choice between agency and leaving the industry.

Like is penis rubbing frowned upon? No one knows
Peter Swimm@peterswimm.com·2026-09-27T17:17:38.212Z#
predation sucks and victims absolutely shoulder the burden of proof and the costs of justice everywhere. I think its something about the failson caste culture inheritances prevalent in tech that make it super fucking pernicious in this industry though.
Peter Swimm@peterswimm.com·2026-09-27T17:20:18.468Z#
Also, tech leaders using sexual positivity language and co-opting queer and diverse spaces to perpetuate abuse is just another aspect of how absolutely rotten the entire corporate world is right now.

That’s just regular life tho
Peter Swimm@peterswimm.com·2026-09-27T17:15:03.235Z#
ok but i’ve had lots of jobs, especially on the blue collar side that will not fuck with this behavior even in a cold calculated business way that is given free reign in the valley.
