Man Disregards His GF's Anxiety About Gender Bias At Work, Asking Her To "Work Harder" Instead

One of those annoying issues that has pervaded society for a very long time and has proven to be almost impossible to eradicate is sexism. No matter how much progress we may believe we have achieved, much work remains to be done on this issue. And though I'm sure that all of the women out there are well aware of this, sometimes males need a reminder of how pervasive sexism still is.

Here is a story that a man recently published on Reddit, questioning if he was mistaken in thinking that his partner hadn't truly encountered many instances of workplace discrimination.

Let's start: One day, a woman revealed to her boyfriend all the sexism she had encountered over her years of working in the computer industry.

However, his immediate response was to disagree with her thoughts rather than stand by her.

A lot of readers came to the woman's rescue, saying that her partner will never truly comprehend her experiences.
