    Slowly come Erinnerungenzurück. Days-, no, almost for weeks I had read articles about HarveyWeinstein, Kevin Spacey and now also about Louis C.K., had taken note of reports of women in Densozialen networks, while Ichstets had been a little bit apart, wanted thing at Dearest of Mirfernhalten. Probably because I suspected that all increase was approached, that it would stir up, occupy, and capture measures. Was it not case that many men in MeToo debate tended to watch a medial phenomenon, while for most women it was umsGanze again?

    The longer debate ran, closer it was to me. Weinstein was a man whom I did not know, one who had apparently lost every measure. Kevin Spacey I had liked in House of Cards, he had fascinated me alsSchauspieler. But Louis C.K. had been an idol to me. A comedian, of whom I had seen as well as all shows, whose new way of looking at trees and whose interviews I had watched at night on YouTube. Louis C.K. had inspired me with his work in a way that nurwenige male comedians could. Jerry Seinfeld still strikes me. What else Hatteich do with male humor? Actually, not much. But now he too. This is bitter.

    However, it was a short text of star JournalistinUlrike Posch, which was distributed on Internet in past few days. In article she did nothing but soemotionslos as possible to portray a series of situations of her professional life in which she was confronted with sexism of her colleagues. Ulrike Poschenämlich also described my life. It was not in this text that Einschwerreicher film producer invited her to his hotel room at night, it was won't that a world-famous comedian asked her to masturbate in front of her, but it was about such very banal things as Telefonkonferenzenim Office. Telephone conferences where one of colleagues could suddenly say, "but don't write it back with wet panties." and all Anderenlachten.

    I want to see this Lachenbleiben. This laughter is important. It is real purpose of many sexist comments, most likely. I know this laughter too, I think many women kennendieses laugh. Often you are asked to go into this Lacheneinzustimmen. Just not be a spoiler, not be so. But it is a scornful laugh, one that sits in throat and does not come out of belly. Jokes are different, with friends and wives you laugh differently, outside office you don't laugh so eigentlichüberhaupt.

    The rise of women, Panic of men

    This laughter is in truth a gesture of humiliation and submission, an attempt by DerVertreibung, who wants to say in final consequence: a woman belongs here Nichr, a woman does not belong to it. I don't believe a man who claims to dieAggression such a laugh. Sexism in office is Einealltägliche and fairly practised masculine form of communication that secures Zweckhat's own power. Women, especially when y selbstbewusstauftreten, disturb normal operation in eyes of many men, y alter routines, rituals, bargains. They mix Sichein. To talk about it with a different way of thinking, making decisions. And you could be better than yourself. Siekönnten one day to be boss.

    The rise of women scares most men. That women in large numbers and with a lot of self-confidence have been pushing into world of work for some years, a sphere that, until a few decades ago, belonged to m, and that zeitgeist is entirely on side of women, puts many men Panic. I felt this panic in a lot of moments, I saw her colleagues just as much as I did with friends. Again and again she threatens to dannaufzuflammen if, in fact, harmless disagreements lead to infundamental disputes, when criticism damitendet that a competence is completely discussed.

    You mustn't underestimate this fear, you mustn't trivialize it. She has GuteGründe: because world of work is for men, different for women, Fasteinzige area in life, from which y make sense, which gives m a Identitätund halt. Families, unlike women, can replace men with se Stabilitätnicht. When men lose ir influence in world of work, y do not dannbleibt much. Such a loss as painful to beschreibenbedeutet, so to speak, too small. This loss is an existential one.
