~~/;\~~

From a certain perspective, it looks this way:

If your primary fulfillment is based on monetary rewards and conformity to certain social expectations...

and if you then end up in a system which happens to be a traditionally male-dominated environment, and if, within that system, modes of behavior which are unnecessarily bullying, deceitful, biased, exclusionary, self-aggrandizing, and derogatory towards others are excused, rewarded and even praised by both both men and women in that environment...

Then, as long as there are financial rewards or social benefits to reap, the incentive to change that behavior to be more inclusive of people with different viewpoints is probably not going to be very high. Why would would it be, when there are so many perks and benefits for keeping on as it was or has been for quite some time?

But I wish that the change would happen anyway.
