I generally find this Camille person’s output intolerable, or at least where she actually speaks (I suspect the presence of amphetamines, mostly); but I would be interested if her topic had to do with the use of heels as a percussion instrument in public displays of emotion. It isn’t a topic I ever saw anyone give any weight to, but for my own part that and all the other forms of continual aggression by women in office settings is among the main reasons I want nothing to do with them.
On the job site, the reason for being there, the ONLY reason, is to get things done. Little displays of any need to dominate emotionally are dealt with in short order, mostly by means of the pure and immediate ridicule they deserve, as simply distracting from the purpose of being in a workplace at all, which is to (brace yourself) WORK.
Men at work have plenty of fun at it, don’t get me wrong. But it only remains productive, when no one person is ever allowed to hijack the proceedings with displays of exaggerated feelings. Such behavior, when genuine hazards and the adult requirements of avoiding them are the primary guidelines of personal conduct, is quite literally dangerous, and is not tolerated.
The very opportunity present in work environments, to posture and preen and present primarily on the basis of one’s feelings, simply illustrates to me that whatever it is people are supposed to be getting done in such places, they’re being paid too much not to, and someone down the line in a consumer economy is paying for it in what otherwise would be a legitimate exchange of goods and services.
By that reasoning, emotional parading in the workplace is not only counter-productive and hazardous to everyone, but actual theft from whoever is the ultimate end-user of whatever it is (?) that people in offices do all day.
