A guy wanted to tell me some stuff about why he's not happy with the environment at his job. A lot of guys at his work are very old-fashioned and have an old-school mentality. They also make comments that indicate they are threatened when they see women take on new responsibilities that they didn't see when they were growing up. This guy thinks he might go into business for himself. Recently he used some downtime at work to teach himself how to type faster. His colleagues don't want to be expected to do more, so they criticize him and say "Why are you doing that." He said lots of women he knows learned how to type faster, so he thought he might as well learn how. And he also said they (the old-school guys) don't like to read. He says money gets wasted in this atmosphere of ennui. Okay, maybe he didn't exactly say "atmosphere of ennui."
His wife told him those guys aren't gonna change so he should just leave.
Good luck pretending sexism is a thing of the past.
