In reply to the discussion: Men now avoid women at work - another sign we're being punished for #MeToo [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,114 posts)Can't say I don't blame some of them. But, the way this article is written is just scare-mongering and filled with loaded words. It is good to be aware of how one interacts with other people, but there is also a real concern with not understanding what some people feel is inappropriate because it is dependent on the person. I was falsely accused of sexual harassment. It was FIVE fucking years later, and after I missed several job opportunities, that it was discovered, I wasn't the one who did it, but in fact, it was the very person who was accusing me that had actually been the harasser! Also, as a gay man, I do anything and everything I can to avoid contact with children or being alone with them, not because of any predilection to do something bad, but because of stereotypes which exist; frankly, I also avoid being around straight men I do not know in a one-on-one situation. So, yeah, I do understand the reluctance some men have.
