There's a concept in feminism called the "missing stair", which is basically the complaint that whenever a community knows someone personally, they'll adapt their behavior to his rather than ruthlessly insisting that everyone needs to behave exactly the same way.

I don't quite understand why that's supposed to be such a bad thing.



Ever worked with a seriously toxic co-worker? One who couldn't be fired for whatever reason. Did you notice that work-flows quickly became, "How do we work around the jerk?" rather than "What is the best thing to do?"
