A graphic designer recently shared an X post claiming he joined a new workplace with no women employees, implying there has been 'no drama, no politics' in the team. His post has invited backlash from X users, with many emphasizing that it's important to have diversity for women's empowerment.
It's 2025, and men are still raving about a workplace with no women in the workforce. A post by a graphic designer has gone viral on X, claiming there's been 'no politics, no drama' after he joined a company with no women. The post has sparked mixed reactions from netizens, igniting a sexism row right ahead of Women's Day 2025.
Graphic designer boasts about workplace with no women
Anurag Maurya, a Delhi-based graphic designer, took to X on February 28 to share he has recently landed a new job. He added that his workplace does not have any women employees, claiming that it only has men over the age of 40. "No politics, no drama. Apne kaam se kaam (everyone minds their own business)," Anurag said.
Finally joined a company with no women, and all my colleagues are 40+ in age. No drama, no politics. Apne kaam se kaam??

When a person in the comments section argued that it's people over 40 who partake in drama, Anurag replied, "Arre nahin mast hai sab (everything is fine)." He then added that all his colleagues, including himself, are married.
Maurya, who has previously worked with YouTuber Bhuvan Bam for his YouTube show BB Ki Vines, recently shared a post that he was looking for a full-time graphic designer position in Delhi. While his latest post hints he has landed a new job, he refrained from sharing the name of the company.
X post invites backlash
Maurya's post has ignited a heated debate on X, with many accusing him of sexism and stereotyping for implying that women are the ones who bring drama to the workplace.
One user wrote, "Bhai, politics is not gender based¡! I guess the only difference is your company won't have to ¡°force out¡± a poor pregnant woman."

Another wrote, "Work is really dull with no diversity. Women give different perspectives that men may not even think of. Sure, work may get done anyway, but it's dull."

A third user added, "Workplace lacks congruency when there are no women. E.g., when in school, if you had an all-boys group for a project, you would achieve nothing or the bare minimum. If there is one girl in the group, suddenly all the boys are alert and working."

Eg when in school you would have an all boys group for a project, you would achieve nothing or the bare minimum. If there is one girl in the group, suddenly all the boys are alert and working. https://t.co/LWv5kK5z0b
Another slammed the alleged sexist nature of the post, writing, "Safe to assume that his mom, if still alive, is still a housewife. Same for wife, if any. Same for daughter, if any. One thing that connects this type of Indian man with their Bangladeshi and Pakistani counterparts is their snowflake fragility."

¡°Sir, I was a part of a team of about 20 people with 6 ladies in it, and all of us worked with the same grit and discipline. We cannot generalize in a team. You may be unlucky to not have had team players previously. But believe me, working with ladies in your team is also important,¡± one X user added.
One user countered, "There is no difference between a male or female counterpart¡ If he or she is a hardworking person, then he or she will work together; if hard workers find politics, then they will either silently work but professionally or will leave the organization."
