This is a story from way back when, before I started working at my company. As told by the warehouse manager.
At that time only men worked in the warehouse, but then 2 women were hired. The warehouse crew has their own breakroom, and there were those uh... special calenders and pinup photos on the walls. The manager had offered to make the men remove those, but the women said, don't worry, they'll offer to remove them themselves...
So on the second week another calendar was hung and some photos too. As you might guess, half naked men striking seductive poses.
mWW (male warehouse workers):
fWW (female warehouse workers): Hey, we like to look at something nice too during our breaks, you got your eye candy, we got our's.
mWW: but, but, but...
The mWW went to the manager to complain!
mWW: But those make us feel uncomfortable, it's harrasment etc
Manager: Uh, guys, you don't think the women feel the same about the pictures you've hung in the room?
*silence* The manager swears he could see them thinking! And he had a hard time not to
mWW: Oh! You think they'd remove their's when we remove our's?
M: I'm sure they will.
And so the warehouse breakroom became special picture free.
One of the women is now assistant warehouse manager BTW.
