Summary
We have seen, heard, and even experienced contemporary sex discrimination in the workplace. We know what it looks like, and yet, we seem somehow amused and surprised when we realize that others can relate. We share blog posts, memes, and cartoons online about the coded messages we receive, the unspoken, knowing glances we exchange, and the universal feelings of helplessness and frustration that we experience because we know better. We know that something is amiss, and we know that what is happening isn’t right. But we also know that it is legally permissible (or that the cards would, at the very least, be stacked against us if we were to attempt to bring a claim).
