Women 'asked to leave workstations so that men could take their places' at Eiffel Tower

Comments

1. Hex Mantis: who exactly thought this was a good idea in the first place
2. June: don't blame anyone for standing up for themselves, but this really highlights how little respect some people have for women in workspaces still
3. Brunof: seems pretty clear what the real issue is here - treatment, not some symbolic gesture about respect or whatever
4. Isla: unbelievable what's next 'gender-neutral' tourism
5. Iron Pulse: it sounds like some outdated respect turned into a mess there wasn't enough notice for staff to adjust or even be aware this was happening
6. Elinranaxo: who told the management that was a good idea to ask them to step out of sight? seriously unprofessional
7. Felix: actually a bit surprised this is getting played as some kind of "controversy" given how common these kinds of logistical requests are for high-profile events. but i guess it's
8. Diego: unacceptable treatment for the women who work there, especially under the guise of 'respect' for a visiting delegation. how does that even work?
9. Jonasm: that kind of thing's not supposed to happen in a supposedly secular workplace
10. Nova: pretty tone-deaf move from whoever decided to clear the area like that
11. Ravibrar: some company this is - I mean who do they think they are?
12. Vanta Lynx: this is what systemic bias looks like right in the heart of paris 😔
