A McSweeney's Internet Tendency-esque response to all the bullshit about women ruining the workplace:
Quote:On my first day, I arrived with a hopeful heart, excited to serve our clients and become a member of the team. “LOOK SHARP, BUTTHEADS!” I bellowed. “IT’S WOMAN TIME!” Things didn’t improve when I insisted on being called the Cap’n.
Much of how I ruined the workplace has to do with the accommodations that I, as a woman, require. Because of me, male employees are no longer allowed to make lewd jokes, hold men-only work gatherings, or type with their penises. Yes, this has ruined the workplace, although it has also drastically reduced typos.

lmao (and the I kept reading the quote and kept lmao'ing). Ngl I seem to consistently enjoy The New Yorker, based on the writing style they generally have. I wonder if that makes me a pretentious snob. (Btw the Antisocial book I'm reading is written by a journalist from The New Yorker.)
