    In the break room at the job, there's one of those little Arcade1Up Street Fighter II cabinets, and the other night, a coworker asked me to play. I was Ryu, he was Ken. He asked me how I was throwing fireballs. I explained the motion to him but he couldn't do it. (1/4)

        Now this was prolly down to the joysticks on the machine being kinda busted. BUT: a little while after our match he said to me, "I think only Ryu can throw fireballs." Meaning, his explanation was not that he didn't do it, but that the character of Ken just doesn't have the move.

        And my response to this was, "Oh, maybe, yeah." Even though of course I know for a fact that Ken can throw fireballs. Even though I've been playing Street Fighter II since 1991. I just didn't want to deal with the potentially uncomfortable outcomes of me telling him he was wrong.

        And of course I do this and things like it all the time, stay silent about my own knowledge or expertise about certain things to avoid making men feel challenged or uncomfortable, because it's just easier than dealing with the possible fallout.

        Some men are replying saying they would do the same thing I did, not challenge the guy, and I get that. Perhaps more pertinent is that VERY few women I've known would have the confidence/arrogance to assert that if they couldn't throw a fireball, it simply must not be possible.

        Switch to Ken and start throwing fireballs. 😁

        We experienced something like this at our old job, where the director asked if we'd felt we'd been discriminated against. We did, in a lot of ways. But we said no because it would have opened a huge thing that we really didn't want to deal with. It's so frustrating.
