I know the credit suisse champion of diversity and women in business... Yep you guessed it, its another white middle class male.
He doesn't wear a dress though.
He is Mr bunce's peer and Co lead on lots of these issues.
In fairness he is a lovely person who thinks very hard about the issues and works hard to support females in his world wide team to achieve and combine family and career.
But the irony that the womans champion is a bloke was lost on him.
I know we all get frustrated, angry, infuriated, sad, depressed, despairing over all this.
But this particular comment has really got me.
What the fucking fuck goes through the head of a person like this? A person who understands the issues that women are up against. A person who wants to help them. A decent person.
What, just what, do they think Philip Bunce is demonstrating here?
Nothing Bunce is doing is helping women. That's the first, obvious thing. No nuance needed to see it, no interpretation to be had. None of it benefits women.
Is this where his peer stops thinking? Okay, it might not be helping women...
That's it.
How can he not then see how it's harming women? It's like he thinks it doesn't help them, and then just stops thinking.
What I've concluded, and what's upset me, is that even the nicest people still believe that women are less than. Just like I know my dog is a dog.
But the irony that the womans champion is a bloke was lost on him.
He doesn't see it. Women being second rate is so correct, it's just part of his psyche.
