    I also suspected it may have also been influenced by the non-US culture he grew up in.

    How so?

      I think the answer to that should be obvious, and you are only asking so you can argue and call me racist. So I will not engage.

        Honestly, I have no idea what you are referring to either. Would you mind sending me a message if you don’t want to go into detail in public?

          You have no idea that some cultures prefer women barefoot, pregnant, and cleaning their house rather than in the workplace? You have no idea that many cultures are not used to having female bosses over male workers?

            I mean “non-US” culture can be anything really, there are loads of cultures where the woman is supposed to look after the house.

            Hell, it used to be pretty normal in Europe and the US not that long ago.

              In order to avoid obnoxious replies, I intentionally chose not to name the particular country I had in mind. The point still stands – there are going to be people in the workplace from cultures with more misogyny than others. And the culture they grew up in will have had an effect on their attitudes.

            Not sure why you get immediately so confrontational. Of course I know those things exist and can be a problem but it wasn’t at all clear to me that you were talking about those things. That’s why I asked for clarification.

            I get it, some people try to trigger other by asking obvious questions but don’t assume the worst in all of us.
