normally when executives say hilariously self-serving things that disparage workers no one has the courage to call them out this is one of those really blindingly obvious times that feminism benefits everyone. i mean, it usually does, but nobody gets to see it until some rear end in a top hat has to go and say his normal spiel in the worst possible location
