Commenter didn’t say work. It’s true in all circumstances.
You recognizing it as true in the work place by understanding women are expected to be like men in the work place. Because men are not expected to show emotions.
Your counter is actually an example.
Keeping in mind the DSM used the word retarded until DSM V came out in 2013.
Another history fact around the DSM is that homosexuality was a mental disability but that was removed way back in 1974 and society didn’t shift as quickly with it as it has now.
The issue with retard is that it is describing an actual medical condition and swapping the word isn’t going to change that.
