I'm a cis, white, British male in Britain. Developer for 20+ years, normal guy. That sort of immature, stupid idiocy is something I've never understood and never wanted to be part of; for other reasons people like that make me take a walk and recover (How is that idiot employed? If that's the future of this company, we're screwed).
Admittedly, I'd never thought things through from your point of view, but I can see it's bad. I hope you find somewhere supportive to work: there's may things we need support for, from being a non-CiS-male in this predominantly male work market, to being a PoC, having mental health issues, to haaving family issues, or even just having a day off. So let's hope we can all support each other through whatever issues we're having, and work together to make things better.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment bro! Don't want you to get the wrong impression, River is a fantastic and very supportive place to work and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to other women/non binary people too. I will say 'shat in a bag story man' is the only person like that in my workplace, so I wouldn't want people to think that I'm moaning about my job specifically... just about 'shat in a bag story men' in general. Thank you for being our ally! 😁
