Most porn objectifies women and many employees are women who do not like being objectified.

Perhaps I missed the irony.



I guess I'll be using male gay porn actor's names to label my servers.

Or is that considered toxic too because there won't be any womens names?


Unless they're obviously fake artist names, I wouldn't do that. Every real name carries the risk that a new hire might share that name, leading to all the confusion mentioned in the article.


Got it. I guess I'm slow today.

Wrong battle, my friend. Directly referencing porn in the workplace creates a hostile work environment because porn is a taboo subject that offends some people, like it or not.
