I work in a position surrounded by women, and most of them get very excited at the idea of doing "games" or creating "fun themed events" and all of that shit. I avoid participating as much as possible because it's all very juvenile and sterile. It just made me think that all of HR, the "creating a fun atmosphere," the forced "fun" activities that leadership thinks will "boost morale," etc, is really just the dying breaths of a suppressed maternal instinct. Whether or not they have children, it doesn't matter, as the fact that they are working instead of spending all of their time with their children unconsciously breaks them. Women have infantilized the workplace and demand a corporate environment that replicates the mother-child relationship dynamic simply because they have no other outlet for their maternal instinct. It's sad and pathetic.
