@benroyce@mastodon.social I lived in a muslim community. Women in this community don't like men to be looking at them, which made me hesitant to maintain eye contact with women in general. I'm also bad with eye contact, which happens with people with ASD.

@mehdi_benadel@mastodon.balamb.fr I think there's a difference between unwanted eye contact in purely social situations and eye contact in an employment scenario. I understand the cultural differences but I don't think they overrule the stricter hierarchy of a work environment. Someone should look at a boss, or interviewer, a certain way that has nothing to do with their gender or their culture. They should just see "boss" or "interviewer", woman or man doesn't matter This is strictly in the employment context

@mehdi_benadel@mastodon.balamb.fr @benroyce@mastodon.social You can make it clear who you're addressing with no eye contact
