Workplace gender dynamics have sparked yet another online debate after a 24-year-old man shared his frustrations on Reddit, claiming his company gives unfair advantages to female employees. Once considering himself “fairly feminist,” he now believes the workplace favours women, which he says “triggers his misogyny.”
“I am a 24-year-old male, I am a fairly feminist person (up until now). But ever since I have stepped into the workplace, I can see the difference in how men and women are treated,” he wrote in a now-viral Reddit post.
He then outlined several examples he believed demonstrated this bias. According to him, women receive better mentorship, face fewer consequences for mistakes and are prioritised during promotions.
“Namely: Women getting easy rap on the knuckles for the same mistakes that can cause huge issues for men. Women do exactly 9-5 whereas men are expected to pull 14-15 hour workdays without any extra compensation. Seniors and bosses take extra time to teach them and educate them about stuff but men are expected to learn by themselves. After all of these promotion times, women are considered,” his post further read.
He concluded by writing that he doesn’t “hate women” and is “not a loser” who blames them for his own failures. He mentioned that even women close to him have acknowledged this phenomenon, stating that it’s almost a given that a good-looking woman will be promoted without any skills.
“Kinda sad about this situation, either you have to be the best and give your whole life or be sidelined your whole life,” he wrote.
His post quickly gathered attention, with many users joining in with their own perspectives.
One person responded, “You should hate your workplace, not the women. Hate your bosses who are exploiting men. Not the women. It’s as simple as that.” Another user, seemingly unimpressed, asked, “Please tell me which office this is, will they hire me? I’m a woman and I’ve faced the exact opposite of this at work.”
Someone else jumped in with a different take, saying, “OP you have never been in a company that says it wants to hire women employees and then make them work night shifts giving utter disregard to the safety of their women employees while they go home at 1 or 2 am at night. Mind you this place is also headed by a woman CEO.”
Another user echoed the original poster’s frustrations, sharing their personal experience. “This is so true. Also, the promotion part is true. My XYZ LPA salary was after my 10 years of experience, my wife matched that LPA salary in just 5 years of her job experience. And I’m sure she will double it in the next 3 years,” a user wrote.
As expected, the conversation remains divided, with opinions clashing over whether workplaces truly favour women or if the man’s experience is an isolated case. What’s your take on this debate?
Earlier, a 28-year-old woman shared her disturbing workplace experience on Reddit, revealing that her team leader called her at night over a 20-minute toilet break. During a washroom break, she missed a chat message, leading to an email to her manager accusing her of non-compliance. Frustrated by the toxic work environment, she decided to quit, accusing higher-ups of mistreating female employees.
