]]> Comment on Is Social Work Following Its Own Code of Ethics? by Joshua https://meninsocialwork.org/2017/12/13/is-social-work-following-its-own-code-of-ethics/#comment-4 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 20:40:03 +0000 http://meninsocialwork.org/?p=24#comment-4 Great points. Not a social worker but working in job that recently opened up to other fields. Prior to that it was all Social Work. Heterosexual Males are considered the enemy. Every interaction with co-workers is viewed through the lens of Men as Perpetrators and Oppressors. Don’t socialize and you are viewed as Not a Team Player.

Growing up in a single mother household I am comfortable being expressive. In my current and past jobs that were female dominated that expressiveness is viewed as attempts at “coming on too” or having some other hidden agenda. Homosexual men and all females can be expressive all the time and no one views them in a negative light for it. I have no attraction or hidden agenda towards women I work with in the workplace. I am happily married very strong Christian man with two daughters. I have been sexually harassed by female supervisors at multiple jobs on multiple occasions. Trust me it does not feel good and it is not something I would ever do to another human being. Not to mention health issues have greatly reduced my libido to near nothing. As far as I am concerned, I am the least likely person in the workplace to pursue a sexual relationship with anyone outside of my marriage.
