Is being sexy for your homies? — LessWrong

    But… I mean, think of a bakery of all (straight) men.

    Then think of the same bakery, but it’s all (straight) women.

    Then imagine the same bakery, but it’s mixed sex.

    Can you see what happens?

    no, not really. bakeries you say?

    Even if there’s no attraction going on in the last case, the fact that there could be dramatically changes the unspoken dynamics. It’s just not as stable as the other two.

    Things like… if a man notices a female coworker struggling with a flour sifter, and he comes in one day with a device he purchased to help her out… it raises questions that just wouldn’t have arisen if the two coworkers had been the same sex.

    oh. ok. flour sifters, man, yeah, those things are crazy.

      I just can’t get over the “struggling with a flour sifter” bit. Like … what’s there to struggle with? What accessory would help a person locked in combat with a flour sifter? Another flour sifter, to intimidate the first with the knowledge that it can be replaced?
