The video "We don't give a fuck" was shared as a response to the author sharing a link to "an article on why so many women leave engineering".

I think there's a difference between saying WTF (in Slack, or wherever) and replying "We don't give a fuck" in response to an article about sexism in the work place.

At my company WTF is acceptable language but saying you don't care about a coworker's valid concern is not.

Actually it's not "fuck" but, word for word, "we beat our bollocks", which is a French equivalent of "we don't give a fuck"

Hi Rimliu ! The video can be translated to "we don't give a fuck" but it literally means "we whip our balls with it" :p

That sounds gross to me, but is it offensive in French culture?

Totally not trying to justify anything, I just have zero understanding of the cultural context.

Yeah it is gross and you're really not supposed to say it in a work environment.
