This man swapped identities with his female colleague to see how office sexism works

Tony Cuddihy

Perhaps the worst thing about this story is that it’s completely believable.

At the end of this thread, somebody makes the point that men need to experience something directly themselves to believe women about the everyday sexism they experience.

They may have a point.

Martin Schneider writes about the different treatment he received to a female colleague, purely on the basis of their gender.

When Schneider realised, by accident, that clients were treating him with a lot more respect than they were affording his colleague Nicole, they decided to switch identities for two weeks and compare their results.

This is fascinating.
