[quote=Anonymous]Angry white woman here. Angry because only men get promoted in my department. Women get "mommy tracked," given unchallenging assignments, and not taken seriously or mentored for promotion. I probably WOULD say something about that to a new male employee because 1. I don't give a f***, 2. It's true and 3. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. The more we talk about this kind of thing the closer we get to doing something about it. Discrimination (including unconcious discrimination) against women and minorities SHOULD make men and white people feel uncomfortable.

I don't care if I say something "unprofessional" or appear to have a "chip on my shoulder" because my goose is already cooked. Nothing I say or do will change my career arc at my current job. No woman has made partner in my department since the '90s.

So I guess I'm surprised that so many PPs are piling on against the black woman in PP's post. Haven't some of us ever felt the same way re our gender? Why are we so scared to talk about it? Why put someone down for speaking out? [/quote]
