The New Blinderism

spiers:

Do I believe that sexism exists in modern workplace? Yes. But I don’t worry about it, because if someone actually decides they don’t want to work with me simply because I’m a woman, they’re saving me the trouble of working with an idiot. It’s an automatic moron screener. And in the long run, those people will find that their careers and their lives have suffered for never having worked with talented women.

But it won’t hurt me.

Now that I’ve found blinderism, I can also stop worrying about that extra $.33 on the dollar that men make! Or, say, racism—I mean if a manager doesn’t hire a candidate simply because that candidate is black, the manager is saving that person of the trouble of going to work at all! And that won’t hurt Elizabeth Spiers! Win-win.
