Men have to call out other men for that behaviour

I was in a meeting a few years back and a guy on our team called a woman in another department “that B”

In front of all the guys I said “Not ok. No gender specific insults allowed.”

He said, “ Then she’s an a—hole”

I said,”She is SUCh an a—hole. But if you call her a gender specific insult it’s especially derogatory and demeaning. But yeah, she’s an a—hole. Horrible person and personality.”

Gender insults say a lot about the person saying them. Men need to have that pointed out., I think.
