"The plot of 9 to 5 feels nothing short of radical, even (and perhaps especially) today. Mr. Hart spends his days harassing Doralee by telling her she’s much more to him than 'just a dumb secretary.' He lies about sleeping with her, and purposefully knocks pencils on the floor so she’ll lean over and pick them up. He insults Judy, and bullies Violet by demanding she fix his coffee. After learning she lost out on a promotion to a man she trained, Violet confronts Mr. Hart. 'Spare me the women’s lib crap,' he replies."

Just because you've found yourself to be "the type" the petrified patriarchy rewards the most doesn't mean it's okay for you to treat "the others" as poorly as you have been trained to do. In fact, it's harmful and negligent and not at all good for the planet in the long run.
