Master Don Juan
I've been working on the east coast for about 3 and a half years now.
This post may only be relevant for guys that are working on the east coast in major cities like NY, DC, Boston, etc. However, I'm sure any major city in this country like Chicago or LA, etc. this would be relevant.
There are a-lot of people whom you will work with who are very liberal, pro feminist, gender equality, anti conservative, etc. These people will often times, even sometimes subconsciously be on the lookout for anyone whom they can deem and identify as anti-woman, anti-LGBT, anti-equal rights, etc.
Some of these people are so angry and bitter about this stuff that they let those personal feelings spill over into the work place and they will come after you hard if they think they can take you out. You'd be surprised how this mindset spills over into company culture, hiring, etc.
You need to be very careful when you hear these types talking politics, your cities hookup culture, or even a joke some comedian on TV told regarding any of these topics. The second one of them sniffs out you could be a good target, they will come after you.
So what's the best way to handle this?
Here's a clip of Jim Harbaugh being set up by one of these types of people.
Couple of things on this video. Notice how her question was very casually asked in a playful, light manner? No harm no foul here, right? Wrong, she was setting him up to take a huge nose dive if he answered this question in a way that could be construed as anti-woman, sexist, etc. I'm not saying she was doing this on purpose, either. But she's asking a college coach about his players wanting to see women in bikinis in Miami while they are there for the game. Can you imagine if he tried to answer this question and something came out the wrong way? The media would have been all over it and I'm pretty sure he knew this by how he answered this question.
While it's a funny video, this is EXACTLY how you need to handle yourself in the office if you should overhear any of this crap being talked about. Now that Trump has been elected, YOU HAD BETTER believe there are women out there heading into their work place with an AGENDA. They may not be able to do anything about Trump taking office, but they can damn sure complain to HR about a guy in the office who has been saying things that could be perceived as sexist.
Watch your ass.
