Can’t decide if “if it looks like a female secretary then it’s a woman” is progressive or backwards.


I suppose that depends on whether you think women should be doomed to the role but it takes some extraordinary imagination to pretend the stereotype doesn't exist, or that one gets around it by making the woman in question an artificial one

kinda like if I made a software called arnold with a picture of he-man as a logo I doubt one would be considered backward for thinking I had a guy in mind


Calling working as a PA "doomed" is probably the most offensive thing said yet in this thread.
