The writing was on the wall before 2014, even for us. The US was probably much more brazen about it but I'm sure you'll remember schoool/Uni being all expectation and no encouragement or assistance. That same attitude was reflected all throughout the workforce. It was more gender-focussed than race-focussed because of the population numbers and a subdued race based consciousness over here.
2014 just seems like the time enough people got fed up of it all.
Same, I just always saw it as the expectations are more of a given and that we'd be fine regardless. So any denigration or dismissal would be of no consequence. Which was honestly fine for me at the time, because I half believed it myself. They just failed to see beyond any given instance of it for the absoulte barrage of crap that it actually was. Justified in the moment but oblivious to the totality.

I grew up in Europe, so my school/Uni was no encouragement and assistance, nor any expectation.
