Re: Return to Gender 101
I have had to use boy names sometimes too. I've even had people look right at my obvious lady name in emails and still assume that I'm either a man or some guy's secretary.
And the thing is that it's not just that people like that are sexist and immoral, but they're also incompetent. They're bad at their jobs. They're irrational and overly emotional and those things affect their ability to do the work they're supposed to be doing. That should be affecting their employment opportunities a lot more than it ever seems to.
