Episode description
What sort of sexism takes place in the workplace that we still don’t acknowledge or talk about?
There’s been a lot of talk about sexism in the technology industry, and over the past few weeks several high profile investors have publicly said that they may have contributed to a culture of sexism and harassment of women.
In the debates surrounding all this, I’ve been struck by the very nature of the workplace itself, I’ve been hearing about the ways in which a lot of people degrade themselves on some level for investors, and that the workplace is a brutal and ruthless place for everyone, it’s just that the details are different for the genders. Some of this I agree with, some I disagree with, but I’d like your experiences. What sort of sexism takes place at work that we still don’t talk about? And besides just sexism, should we be overhauling the entire culture of many industries and workplaces in the first place?

About The Gender Knot
Right now: women are angry, men are confused and no one is talking to each other productively. Enter: The Gender Knot.
On this podcast we get men and women to come together to chat – and sometimes argue – about what we want from each other, what we’re worried about and how we can best get along and make a better world for us all.
From how women can ask for what they want, to tips for men to be better allies to women, to delving into the new masculinity, we tackle all these in our weekly episodes.
Past guests have included Dan Savage, Esther Perel, Mark Manson, and Jackson Katz.
