#2"There is a long, long list of the kinds of people I don’t befriend. I don’t generally befriend people with whom I don’t quickly click. I don’t befriend people with largely different sets of values, political views, interests, or senses of humor. I don’t befriend people from whom I get bad vibes. And, I don’t befriend people who I just don’t fucking like."
Somebody so deadset against getting along with people and making friends probably shouldn't be surprised or angry that her coworker is concerned that they aren't getting along.

#3"Tangentially, I think the entire college sports organization is embarrassing, antiquated and Rapey with a capital “R.” It drives tuitions up and gives a small niche of bumbling bro-bots the lifelong expectation that they will be able to skirt through life without brains, manners, or ever learning the idea of earned respect. “I can twirl a basketball on my finger, how dare you not want to fuck me.” And so on."
I would feel uncomfortable around her too if she brought this attitude into the work place.
Side note: Please use contrast in your design choices if you're going to write multi paragraph essays. My eyes hurt!

#5> The coworker in question is a heterosexual white male. My manager is a heterosexual white male. There are five other people in my organization in the office where I work. They are all heterosexual white males.
How is this person so sure of this? I have no idea what the orientation of anyone I work with is... I can eliminate "homosexual" or "heterosexual" for most of them, as they have mentioned ____friends, but certainly cannot eliminate "bisexual"...

#6Wow, all of the comments that precede mine are an embarrassment to HN, demonstrate the swift defensive attacks that preclude any possibility of dialogue, and reinforce the notion many have of bro-cognitive dissonance.

You would want to work with someone that says all of college sports is "Rapey"? I'm sorry, that's not professional or mature.

Eh, I think the idea is that you get to a point where you can have professional/working relationships with others even if you don't really like them. I know I have. It would be nice if all of my coworkers and collaborators were my best buds but in reality, you run into all kinds and sometimes you just don't like people you work with. And that's fine. It's a mark of professionalism when you can still take care of a job even if you think someone's politics or personality are incompatible with yours.

#9If this kind of post can be dismissed as cliche, its an indication of a problem in the industry and not with the writer.
The commenters that preceded me would do well to remember her article is a venting on Tumblr, and not the conversation she had with her co-workers or manager. Denigrating her tumblr post for being an inappropriate work attitude misses the point.

Since when is liking sports a professional requirement?
