I’m going to assume good intent and resist posting a snarky response.
Why is it so terrible for anyone to want to work in a specific environment that they find comfortable? Why do you think that the ability to work as a fryer or construction worker is somehow “better”? Why are people who have the capacity to either ignore or tolerate bad working conditions and continue working considered morally superior?
As human beings we’re all so different and unique in our ways and preferences. We are at a stage in our evolution where we can provide people the kind of environment that they prefer to work in; even let people choose the kind of body and gender they think works best for them. Why is that so bad? Can’t we just let go of the toxic masculinity involved in such comparisons?
I am not even touching on the nature of knowledge work itself which has very little to do with physical toughness and everything with being in environments conducive to problem solving. Please just stop with these rubbish admonishments.
interesting that you equate “fragility” with the opposite of “morally superior” - “Fragile” seems like a fairly accurate description of the described phenomenon, you are the one who seems to be ascribing moral value on the basis of that description. Why is that? Why should we care if someone else describes us as “fragile”?
