Oh, also, as a note, this statement:
“Any man or woman who is not able to work professionally with somebody who holds views that are profoundly different than his or her own is not sufficiently professional for a modern office environment. The burden for this lack of maturity should not be placed on others, it belongs to the holder.”
is not true.
If your profoundly different point of view involves objectifying or creating a hostile work environment because you decide that a certain individual is less than you as a human being or less capable based on gender, *you* are the unprofessional one. If *your* point of view is what’s creating hostility, that’s *your* problem. Even from a business standpoint. It makes more economical sense to *not* make public points of views that denigrate entire demographics of individuals. So, I’d re-think your statement. You can be a white supremacist and a professional as long as you don’t make it clear that you believe your black co-worker should be a slave. Once you *do* make that point of view known, trust me, its not the co-workers fault that you now created a hostile work environment.
