Is this really a microagression?

Except in practice it almost never is done equitably. Even if yes the rotating system works, people still make comments that are microaggressions. For example, when the male Denver sheriff was replaced it was by a female. Equitable right? Except the man was introduced by talking about how qualified he was and the woman was introduced by talking about she had a great smile. What would be said by men workers if a man refused to take notes vs if a woman refused to? We saw it in a thread I started and here - men are clueless that they are creating microaggressions.

And we see your argument in racism I’m colorblind so I treat everyone equally. That’s good enough. NO IT ISN’T! The correct approach is to acknowledge that Jane’s experiences are different than the men and so no, she shouldn’t take notes because over her career she has long since taken her equitable share of notes. What should be done is the manager explicitly states, “Jane you might have a different take on this given your experiences. I want you to focus on the discussion and not notes” Your argument is that equality is sufficient or fair. It is not - equity is.

Why, because I’m willing to challenge traditional stereotype or ignore they exist? Or is it because I celebrate diversity instead of expecting everyone to conform to MY white male standard?

I’m not afraid to talk to my workers about equity vs equality

Aaaaaaaand there we go. My management style reflects poorly on Jane as the assumption is she is a whore sleeping her way to the top.

Nope. You are incorrect.

Again, you should study what equity is and how to implement it.
